3 ) Cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4 hours.
15 minutes before serving, add in the kale & remove the bay leaves.

4 ) Taste and adjust any seasoning if necessary.

NOTES:

If you don’t have a slow cooker I recommend this one.

If your soup becomes very thick while cooking, add in some more broth at the end.

I just a reduced sodium vegetable broth so I can control how salty the soup turns out.
