  This is a real quick & tasty meal (soup) I had everything in that was needed. I substituted the kale for the green cabbage & the Gruyere for Mature cheddar I had in. So, easy adaptable easy to cook and my hubby who is a big meat eater said it was tasty (high praise indeed) although you could if you so wished add some meat (left overs you had in) as well. Dawn xx
