Garlic and Kale Soup image

Per Vegetarian Times, "This brothy soup provides heart healthful nutrition on many levels: kale and garlic are good for the cardiovascular system; wheat berries are high in fiber; and shiitake mushroom contain an amino acid that speeds up processing of cholesterol in the liver." You need to plan ahead to make this, as the wheat berries require an overnight soak. WOW was this a yummy and simple soup. . .made with fresh ingredients. Love it!!! Even my meat eating neighbor ate it up. The kale gives it a little of a tangy flavor.

I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really enjoyed this soup. The garlic and Parmesan cheese helped to balance out the bitterness of the kale.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less salt next time.

This soup was very easy to make and it turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful.

This recipe is a keeper! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the kale added a nice touch of bitterness. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was perfect.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to taste, and it was much better.

I love how simple this recipe is. I didn't have any kale on hand, so I used spinach instead. It was still very tasty.
