White Bean Kale & Chorizo Soup

This was a really good soup recipe.  I had never had kale before, but it was at the farmers market today so I thought I would try it out.  I used half beef & half chicken broth - because that was all I had, it tasted awesome.  I am sure this would be good without chorizo & using veggie broth too, but you would definitely need more seasoning and spice without the chorizo.
