Bacon and Kale Soup

Who does not like an easy, flavorful and comforting meal, especially something like this Bacon and Kale Soup?

I make this bacon and kale soup pretty often. Sometimes I add bacon and sausage, and sometimes just sausage.

However, this soup is really amazing even when you make it vegetarian just by omitting meat, of course, and adding vegetable stock.

My family loves it at least a couple of times a month and it is enjoyed all year round.

Bacon goes so well with kale. I love adding it to my cabbage soup as well as green bean stew.

Well, you guys must know that I just love bacon any way you serve it, but it gives an extra flavor to soup like this one with rather tasteless kale.
