Vegetarian Kale Soup- from Baltimore MD

Eillen Miller, shared this recipe for all you vegan's on her facebook page.Some of us had problems when we went to the link, below is the recipe. This wonderful soup will warm your insides, delight your taste buds, and fill your stomach on a cold winter's night. It is full of dark green kale, potatoes, and cannellini beans. Eileen's most famous weekend crock pot dish was chowder, she makes the best corn chowder I have ever tasted, even my own.
