Recipe View 8 mins Mix in lemon juice and toss kale leaves just on top of the soup. Replace lid and allow kale to steam for about 5 minutes. Remove lid and adjust seasonings, if desired, before serving.

For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth.
If you don't have kale on hand, spinach or Swiss chard make excellent substitutes.
A squeeze of lime juice can be used in place of lemon for a slightly different flavor profile.
