Black-Eyed Pea and Kale Soup _ Review

[Guest guest]

I read this and thought it sounded wonderful.. So.. I fixed it for dinner

and it was so good. Even the veggie hating hubby loved it And he didn

t even know what kale was, I told him it was lettuce, he said, you can cook

lettuce? I said I guess so, it was in the recipe.. So he took a bite and

said, hmmm pretty good.. For cooked lettuce

I waited til he went to the neighbors before I started laughing Thanks

for a great and easy recipe. I froze the leftovers into individual bowl

batches. I hope it freezes well. I guess I'll find out

 

Thanks so much

Marcia
