Kale Soup...Italian Health Food?

Hale to the Kale!
Did you know that kale, a variety of cabbage, is low in calories, and high in antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin C? It's also very low in sodium. Kale can be consumed in soups, salads, with other greens, or by itself as a side dish or garnish. If kale doesn't interest you, consider trying other dark leafy greens, such as spinach or romaine lettuce. The first time I had Kale it was at this little Italian cafe'
near my home town. A great bowl of soup, all you could eat. I love Italian bread and with that and the soup that's a complete meal.
