Here is how you make Kale Soup over Garlic Toasted Bread:

To serve 6 you'll need a pound (500 g) of dried cranberry beans, soaked for several hours or over night. Boil them in the vegetable stock and water. When the beans are tender (don't let them fall apart) remove half of them and set them aside. Blend the remainder along with the herbs. While the beans are cooking, mince a carrot, an onion, a stick of celery, 1 clove of garlic, and a bunch of parsley, and saut? them in the olive oil in a skillet. When the onion has become golden, stir in 1/4 cup of tomato sauce diluted in a half cup of hot water. Season the mixture with pepper and simmer it for a few minutes more, then stir it into pureed beans.When the pot returns to a boil add coarsely shredded kale (figure 1 1/2 pounds, or about 650 g, for 6). You can also, if you wish, add some diced potatoes at this point. Simmer the soup for about a half hour, by which time the kale will be cooked, then return the reserved beans to the pot and heat through; the soup shouldn't be watery. While the kale is cooking toast slices of day old Italian whole wheat bread, rub them with garlic, and use them to line your soup bowls. Ladle the soup over the toasted bread and serve it with a cruet of extra virgin olive oil that your diners will be able to sprinkle over their soup.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CATCH23.
