Kale, Chicken, & Tomato soup

So, this is somewhat of a repeat post, but I have improved upon this soup:). This soup is a family favorite for all...even the baby cleaned his plate! I never have to beg them to finish their plates. 

This time I've added chicken and more liquid. I added the chicken because we wanted it a little more hearty. It's still really tastey without chicken. I would still add the extra broth and liquid. Enjoy!

1 lb. of Chicken Tenderloins cut into bite sized pieces

2 (15oz) cans of white Cannellini Beans, drained and rinsed 

1 (14.5oz) can diced tomatoes 

1 large tomato, chopped

1 white onion, chopped

1-2 cloves of garlic, minced

2-3 Tablespoons Smoked Paprika

1/2 tsp salt or more to your liking

Olive oil (or coconut oil)

1 bunch of Kale, rinsed, stems removed, and chopped 

1 14oz. can of vegetable broth

Extra water

Parmesan cheese, shredded 

Put about a tablespoon or more of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic to sauté. Sprinkle some salt just to season. Then add chopped Kale, beans, tomatoes, and vegetable broth. It will need more liquid. I just add more water can by can, till everything is "swimming".   Simmer on low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add salt and paprika to your liking. Heat till all combined, heated through, and kale is wilted, about 10 minutes or less! Serve in bowls and top with parmesan cheese. Whole Wheat Bread is also a great accompaniment.
