Tuscan Kale Soup

I found tonight's recipe on Memorie di Angelina. Tuscan Kale Soup . I made this yesterday. The recipe called for polenta to be added to the soup before serving. Well traffic as it was I didn't have time for that step when I got home tonight. I might have been able to add it but did not feel like standing at the stove for 20 minutes. The soup was not bad. But honestly next time I will use canned beans. Not crazy about the dried beans. They just don't seem to get soft enough.
