  • 2 cups kale chopped
  • 1 can 15 oz diced tomatoes

  3. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any tasty browned bits.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, including their juices, and let the mixture simmer.

  6. Let the soup simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender.
