Step 1

Mince the garlic, dice the onion, slice the celery, chop the kale, and peel and slice the carrots. Add the olive oil, garlic, onion, celery, kale, and carrots to a large (5qt or larger) slow cooker.

Step 2

Sautee the onion in a bit of oil to soften and caramelize.

Step 3

Give the beans a quick rinse and then add them to the slow cooker, along with the bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, paprika, and some freshly cracked pepper.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs in the crockpot with all other ingredients.

Step 5

Add six cups of water to the slow cooker and stir to combine the ingredients. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.

Step 6

After 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high, stir the soup and begin to mash the beans against the side of the slow cooker to thicken the soup. Once the soup is thickened to your liking, start adding salt to taste. Begin with 1/2 tsp and add more until the soup tastes flavorful to you. Max is about 2 tsp total.

Step 7

About 20 minutes before serving, use two forks to shred the chicken. Stir into the soup.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot with crackers or crusty bread for dipping.
