Chick Pea and Kale Soup

Mary Gates

I made soup with chick peas, kale, onion, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and some dried tortellini (from Trader Joe’s). Also added some pesto (homemade and frozen from last summer). I rarely follow a recipe, though I use them for inspiration.

Roughly:
Sautee or caramelize onions and sun-dried tomatoes. Add cooked chick peas and remaining ingredients, plus broth of your choice (or water). Simmer about 20-30 minutes. Serve with toasted whole-grain bread.
