Kale and White Bean Soup with Chorizo

Like everyone else these days, I am in love with kale and eat it when ever I can.  This soup has just the right amount of spice from the garlic, heat from the chorizo and creaminess from the white beans.  Delicious!
Ingredients:

• 1lb. chopped kale, large stems removed
• 3/4 lb. chorizo, casing removed ( its usually 2 links)
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 2 carrots diced
• 2 medium red potatoes, diced
• 32 oz. low sodium chicken broth
• 3 cups water
• 1 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes
• 1 tbsp. chicken base
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 cans cannellini beans rinsed and drained
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot with 2 tbsp. of olive oil in the bottom saute the chorizo, onion, garlic, kale, carrots, bay leaves and red unpeeled potatoes.  Keep stirring everything around until the chorizo is nicely brown and the onion is cooked.
Add the chicken broth, water, tomatoes, chicken base, drained beans and simmer for 45 minutes. It's ready that quick.  Enjoy!
