2 cups kale lettuce roughly chopped (spoon sized pieces) 
2 sprigs fresh rosemary pulled off stem
2 tablespoons olive oil divided

Meanwhile in a large sauce pan or dutch oven (preferable), heat other tablespoon of oil. Add diced onions and sweat (cook until translucent. Season with salt and pepper. 
Add chicken brother and bring to a boil. Next, add chicken w/ cooked garlic, rosemary and cheese rind. cook 8-10 minutes. Add beans cook about 2 minutes. Lastly add kale, cook for about 1 minute and remove from heat. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. 

After adding every element remember to stir, after the broth is boiled return fire to medium-low. 


Soups are SO easy to make no one should ever eat soup from a can. You know what goes into homemade soups and can easily control the amount of sodium.
