Slow Cooker Kale Soup
Here is a yummy sounding recipe submitted to us by reader Rebecca McLean for Kale Soup done up in the slow cooker. A nice low-fat recipe that is full of great protein and veggies!
This really is a frugal recipe too, with kielbasa sausage as the meat that really adds a ton of flavor to the broth. I know for my family I like to watch for kielbasa to go on sale at the grocery store and when it does, I pick up several packages and toss them into the freezer. That way, I have them on hand to use in so many tasty kielbasa recipes!

Common Questions:
Can I Use An Another Type Of Meat?
This lovely soup will also work with diced ham. A great way to use up leftover ham from the holidays.
I Don’t Like Kale? Can I Use Something Else Instead?
If kale is not your favorite vegetable you can also use other leafy greens such as spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, Swiss chard, turnip greens, etc.
Can I Use Other Types Of Beans In This Recipe?
You can use pretty much any other type of canned beans that you have on hand. Pinto beans, butter beans, black beans, etc. Just be sure to drain and rinse the beans really well, especially if you are using black beans as the liquid from black beans can make your soup a weird color.
