Cook over medium in large saucepan, the first 3 ingredients, drain.
Use large pot. add cooked meat, etc. then add
2 cans (14 1/2 oz each) beef broth

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes, undrained.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover pot, 30 mins. Then add 1 1/2 cup cooked rice.
We used Minute Rice equal to how much it would be cooked, loss in. great with home made biscuits.

Good Morning to All,

I don't have a favorite soup but do have a favorite ingredient: V-8 vegetable juice. Several flavors to choose from. Of course, if needed, chicken broth. I use chicken broth in my potato soup.

Reading this topic and saving it for winter,

New Bedford Portuguese Kale Soup
I don't know how to post it here, but you can go to Cooks.com recipe seach and type it in and it will give you a printer friendly copy.
I make it quite a bit but I used one bunch fresh kale and I used 1 keilbasa and 1 linguica cut up and I use 2 1quart boxes of Emiril's all natural Chicken stock.
This is Excellent

You can cut copy & paste a recipe.Just highlight the text you want to copy,hit command & C keys...go to where you want to post & click on command & V

That soup recipe sounds great.Have never used much kale.For those wanting to make their own broth, you can put meat & water in slo cooker over night.I heat my water & meat,then put in SC.Gives it a head start.
