    Tips on Chicken, White Bean, and Kale Soup

    What can I use instead of canned tomatoes?

    Substitute 2 cups of seeded, diced fresh tomatoes for the can of tomatoes, if desired.

    Clean that kale!

    Be sure to strip the kale leaves off their stems before chopping. Kale stems are tough and not very tasty.

    What can I substitute for fresh parsley?

    Swap 1 tablespoon dried parsley for the fresh parsley, if that's what you have on hand.

    Add the beans at the end!

    White beans will get tough if you add them in too soon, so be sure to not mix them in until the end of the cooking.
