Break up rings. Let sit.Carefully slice and dice the peeled tomatoes, on a cutting board with a spill catch ring, or do carefully a couple at a time.When the onions are just soft, add the tomatoes, turn up heat. Finely chop 1/2 fresh herbs, add to pan.Mince the sauteed and cooled garlic(it will be pasty now), add to pan.Stir occasionally.When tomatoes are softer, and a little beaten up, add the tomato juice and heat on high until boiling.Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add bay leaves.Cover and let boil, once boiling, turn to medium-low. Meanwhile, prepare kale:On a large cuttingboard, hold the bottom tip of the stem in left hand. Hold firmly.

Discard stem.Once all leaves have been removed, medium chop the kale.After about 20 minutes of boiling (like when the kale is ready, and you've cleaned up a bit) add the rings of leeks.Leave the top off and stir and watch. When the leeks get very bright color (3 minutes) add the second half of the finely chopped herbs. Stir, add the kale and push it down into the boiling soup..When the kale gets very bright color (1 minute) take off heat.Serves about 10.For a more savory soup, use lavender, rosemary & thyme (and bay), buy tomatoes with more sugar in them,and use very little salt and pepper.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AMANDAWEIRES.
