Kale Soup - Beneficial for Blood Type A

This is one of my favorite soup recipes.  I try to eat according to my blood type and I am always overjoyed when I come across a recipe by accident that is nearly all "beneficial" and has very few "avoid."  The original recipe can be found here, but I adapted it because I like a chunkier soup and I don't like to measure.

Kale Soup

2-3 tbsp olive oil
3-6 cloves garlic
1 whole onion, diced
1 whole turnip, diced
2-3 carrots, diced
1 bunch kale, stemmed and torn
3 bay leaves
desired amount dry parsley and thyme (unless you have fresh available)
6-8 c. vegetable broth (or any broth that you like)
1 c. black beans (or any bean you like)
1-2 whole potatoes, diced
1-3 tomatoes, diced

Potatoes and tomatoes are avoid but the sheer volume of beneficial ingredients is sure to outweigh the negatives.  Just use a minimal amount for flavor if you like.

I heat a large pot on medium heat.  Pour enough oil in the pan to coat the bottom well without letting the veggies stick.  Add all vegetables except tomato and kale.  Toss and cook 5-10 minutes.  Add beans (with juice if you like).  Cook 1-2 minutes more.  Add kale and tomatoes and toss.  Add spices, bay leaves and broth.  Stir well.  Cover and simmer until potatoes are cooked (about 15-20 minutes).  Remove the bay leaves if you can find them.  Enjoy!
