Kale and White Bean Soup with Golden Beets

This recipe was passed on through our CSA recipe exchange by member, Anne Wang. It sounds wonderful, simple, and can be adapted easily for vegetarians. I'm going to try it this week with my fresh crusty bread from Rio Gozo's bread share and let you know how it was.

There is plenty of gozo at Rio Gozo Farm. That is JOY in Spanish and joy is one of the most dependable products we have. Gozo is commonly found in gardens and farms. Once you get a little gozo up and going it is very tolerant of most pests, withstands dry periods, and grows with a modicum of fertilizer. After gozo becomes a staple of one's diet, it goes with about anything. Actually folks crave it so much it is a wonder everyone does not have a patch of it growing close at hand. Grab up some gozo and get with the flow.
