Lemon Chicken Kale Soup

Here is a super fast and easy recipe for a super comforting and delicious soup.  It isn't made completely from scratch, although you can if you would like to and have the time.  I like to use kale but you can substitute with any leafy green.  This is what I make when I'm exhausted but still want to make something healthy and satisfying for the family.  This takes 40 minutes from start to finish and that includes the prep time.  That's quick!  I made this last week and now looking at the pictures, I sure wish I had some!
