Instructions: Over medium heat, cook the bacon in a big pot until it gets crispy. Take it out of the pot and set it aside. Leave the bacon grease in the pot. Chop up some onion, carrots, and celery and put them in the pot. It will take about 5 minutes of sauting until the vegetables are soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute. You can use chicken or vegetable broth, pasta, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Also add diced tomatoes and cannellini beans. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it cook on low for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pasta is done. Add chopped kale and stir. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until the kale wilts. If the seasonings need to be changed, do so now. Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese and crispy bacon on top.
