Vegetable Soup with Kale and Edamame

My son and I were shopping one day for the ingredients for a recipe that we wanted to try. We were in the produce area when we saw a bunch of kale. We heard so much about the health benefits of kale, so we decided to buy some to try. My son made kale chips which were baked with a little bit of olive oil and salt. It was crunchy and tasted good, a healthy alternative to potato chips. I made vegetable soup with the rest of the kale and added celery, carrots, potato, kernel corn and edamame.  What I like most about this dish is that it is healthy, quick and easy to prepare. The whole family enjoyed this chunky, delicious and hearty soup 😀
