I've been making this for a few years now and haven taken to tossing parmesan heels in the freezer when I get them. They go into boiling soup like minestrone, bean soups, and add a fabulous flavor to this as well.

I love Kale in my fave soup. Portugese kale soup. It's just a little olive oil in a stock pot. Then add 2 peeled & chopped carrots, 1 chopped lg to med onion, & turkey sausage sliced. Slowly saute' 10 mins. Add 6 cps chicken broth & 1 cup water & bring to a boil. Add 1 bunch of torn or chopped kale withoy the stems & simmer 20 min's. Delicious. I'm trying your recipe tonight for supper. Thanks. Sounds great.

Just made this for breakfast– who would've thunk that boiled kale and egg would be so delicious first thing in the morning?

In a rare move, I bought some delicious multigrain bread from the nice farmers' market bread people today. Fortunately I had also bought a sexy bunch of cavolo nero, and had one egg at home. Plus I'm only on episode 6 of this season of Mad Men. Yours was an appreciated component of this S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y…NIGHT!

hi, I love your blog and I think you are a fantastic writer! I just wanted to give you a tip that I can tell by your writing that you will love. When you make chicken stock ad a very small amount of a fresh herb called lovage. It gives chicken soup this savory, unimaginably perfect quality that you may recognize if you have ever had a really good bouillion cube. Try it…you will freak! Yam

I know that this is a comment on an old recipe, but I wanted you to know that I stirred polenta in with the kale and broth while it was cooking and stirred every few minutes. It is a riff on a Bittman recipe from a couple of years ago. Anyways, polenta, kale and an olive oil fried egg on top – yum! (Anything is better with an egg on top!)
