SIMPLE KALE AND GROUND BEEF SOUP
I keep 1/2 cup Parboiled Kale and 1/2 lb. Browned Ground Beef servings in freezer bags in my freezer, so this soup came together for me in 35 minutes. It will take you about 20 minutes longer if you are starting with fresh ingredients. I have Pneumonia and was tired of Chicken Soup and wanted beef for supper for a change but still wanted something light. I came up with this idea just by looking in my freezer, fridge and pantry. My soup is filling but light. It is easy to toss together and leftovers are even better the next day. You can even add a can of rinsed kidney beans for a change.

- In that same pot add the ground beef. Cook over medium heat, stirring and breaking it apart until it is browned. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon into the colander with the kale and dispose of any grease.
- Wipe out the pot. Return the kale and beef to the pot. Turn the heat to medium high and add all the other ingredients. Stir. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to med low. Set timer for 30 minutes.
