Kale and White Bean Soup image

This is a delicious vegan soup for fall and winter--hearty yet healthy. The 8 cloves of garlic make it extra yummy :) I've added beet greens as well--and the more greens the better, IMO. Make sure you really wilt and reduce the greens so that they melt in your mouth... So delicious! Enjoy.
