Skinny Gluten Free Split Pea and Kale Crock-Pot Recipe

Hi guys!   I've been growing Dinosaur Kale in the garden for months and I love it!!   The most amazing thing happened recently, hubby cut off the top and the bottom stalk started to grow leaves again!  So we are putting it in our soups, salads, frittatas and smoothies.  It has a nice mild flavor and blends in to everything really well. My pictures look a little dark and don't do this soup justice... sorry  :) 

 but the soup is awesome!  and the Crockpot keeps the house cool. It's in the 90's right now!

Only 112 calories per serving!  and so yummy with my Spectacular Bread in the Bread Machine!
