Ingredients

 

6-7 cups chopped greens – kale, escarole, rapini or other dark green leafy vegetables or a combination of 2 or 3 different greens. 14.5 ounce can fire roasted crushed tomatoes ( or use liquid veggie bouillon by Pacific or Imagine in place of tomatoes)

Options

Non-Vegan – Use grated goat mozzarella and sprinkle with grated pecorino romano (sheep cheese).

I like Muir Glen brand of crushed tomatoes.

You can add other vegetables of your choice. I added some zucchini I had on hand.

Variation:  You can make this into a Greens and Beans Soup by adding a 32 ounce carton Imagine liquid No-chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth, 2 cps. water, and 2 tsp. soy sauce at the same time you add the crushed tomatoes.
