Heat the oil in a large heavy frying pan; add the onions and cook 4-5 minutes or until they are just starting to brown. Add the garlic, Italian Seasoning, chili flakes and saute 1-2 minutes more, being careful not to let the garlic brown. Put onions and garlic into the slow cooker. While the onions are cooking use an immersion blender or food processor to puree the cannellini beans and juice, keeping them a little chunky if you prefer.Finely chop the kale (cutting away thick center ribs if you have them) and wash kale in the salad spinner if you're using garden kale. Put the pureed beans, chopped kale, vegetable stock, canned tomatoes and juice, and sage leaves into the slow cooker with the onion mixture. (Add one or two pieces of Parmesan rind if desired for extra flavor.) Cook 4 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low. Salt to taste when soup is done. Serve the soup hot, with strips of Parmesan shaved over if desired. Serving Size: Makes big hearty bowls of soupNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MADEMCHE.
