This soup resembles a callaloo, which is typically made with taro leaves in place of the kale and with the addition of a hot pepper to add some kick. My family isn’t big into spice, so this is a mild version of the soup, which still has a lovely flavor and is a great alternative way to get both your green veggies and your bone broth!
