This is a copycat recipe that I found on the internet. I use it as a base for making this soup, but vary it a bit depending on what ingredients I have on hand. I have used regular milk, evaporated milk, and even cream of mushroom soup in place of the cream since that is not something that I always have in my frig. And...I've used frozen spinach on occasion instead of kale.
