The beans in this soup give the broth a lot more body. I don't really like sauteed greens, but I LOVE the kale cooked this way - just 10 min is perfect. Make sure to get a good quality kielbasa, which you might not find at the supermarket. I had to cook the beans a little more than 45 min, and next time I'll use a little more broth. I think the amount of vinegar is perfect.

I will do this every Christmas as a tradition. But, it is so good I have to do it more often than that. I took it to a football party this year and the guy that hosted the part makes amazing soups. I took just a little to show everyone how good, and how easy it was. This one was voted best of the three! It freezes well for those later parties as well. I love the tart vinegar taste.

This is now a "must have" every Christmas. My kids love it and they never leave left overs. So good.

Since discovering this recipe, I make it every Christmas. It is yummy and easy. I add onions and cook the meat a little longer to brown a bit. Make it, you will not be sorry!!

This recipe was excellent, but it needs to be served fresh - no leftovers. Not the ideal soup to be making for 2 people.

This soup is delicious! The first time I made it, I followed the directions exactly and soaked the beans, etc. It was great, but time consuming. The next time I made it, I used canned beans that I had rinsed. Just as yummy, with a much shorter prep time. It was a good way to get non-kale eaters to try it... and end up loving it!

The best part for me is the red wine vinegar at the end. It gives the soup, which could be a bit thick tasting/feeling, a much needed kick of sharpness. It's the perfect finish for the soup.

I've made this many times now, and each time we love it and scrape our bowls clean!

Easy recipe and very tasty. I added onions with the garlic, and I think I will add a can of tomatoes next time. I personally liked the vinegar at the end - added some zest. I also used canned beans, which worked fine and cut the cooking time, and I added a whole lot more kale.

I remember this recipe! I'll have to make it again. I made it a few years back and it was delicious, but I agree that 1/4 cup vinegar was a tad too much. Also, I personally adore kale, so I used way more in mine. If you like this recipe, though, I would also recommend you try Rachael Ray's Deep Winter Minestra. I don't know if it's on this site, though it is on her show's site and it's truly wonderful. It has mushrooms and even my mushroom haters loved it!
