""Kale delivers a huge dose of Vitamin K (with more that 600% of your daily allowance per serving) and plays a starring role in supporting brain and bone health. It has more vitamin C than an orange, more pro-vitamin A than any other leafy green and has more calcium than 1 cup milk." Plus it is packed with phytonutrients. Many many health benefits at the cellular level. The quote is from the book Fifty Shade of Kale by Drew Ramsey MD & Jennifer Iserloh. I am sure this soup can be made in the crockpot."
