  2. 2

    Add the kale and cook for 3-4 minutes until it wilts down.

  3. 3

    Pour in the vegetable stock and the tinned haricot beans, bring to the boil, then simmer for 12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Whisk the fine polenta into a little cold water to make a smooth paste, then stir it into the soup and simmer for a further 5 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened.
