I added carrots and celery (1 cup each) otherwise followed the recipe, but it didn't have much flavor. Also, I think spinach would work better than kale.

Guilt-free and easy to make. I left the salt out.

I also used Pomi salt-free tomatoes in a BPA free carton, and low Pacific Foods low-sodium vegetable broth.
