I have a recipe that when I make it is a favorite with people.

CROCK BEAN SOUP WITH KALE

3 tblsp olive oil
3 onions - chopped
1 carrot - chopped
3 cloves garlic - pressed
1 bunch kale - trimmed and sliced
1 pound dried cannellini beans - soaked overnight (or use white beans)
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 quart of chicken broth or vegetable broth
Salt and pepper to taste

In a skillet, heat oive oi over medium high heat. Add opions, carrot and garlic. Cook untl onions are translucent. Add kale and cook til wilted, about 3 minutes.

I a crock-pot, place your soaked beans, add red pepper flakes, the contents of the skillet and cover with broth (if you need more liquid, add either more broth or water till contents are cpverd by 1/8").

Cook on high 8hours or until beans are tender. Once bens are tender, add the tomato sauce and salt and pepper to taste.

I personally use an small can of tomato sauce and you could use the geens that you want and if you don't have a crock pot, you could cook this normally as you would beans on top of the stove.
