Tuscan Ham & Bean Soup with Kale - Savory Meal #6

Wow!  I'm a little over half way done with this meal collection.  It's been fun.  Lots of good meals.  Tonight is one that is perfect for those cold weather days (today was just a rainy day).  I skipped the kale (mainly because I didn't have room in the crockpot).  It was a very filling meal.  Only had 7 grams of fat per serving.  Perfect.

Ingredients:

15 oz can crushed tomatoes
14.5 oz can reduced sodium chicken broth 
1 pkt Tuscan Chicken Slow-Cooker Sauce Mix
1 lb ham, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 - 15 oz cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
16 oz frozen mixed vegetables
4 c chopped kale

Instructions:

Combine tomatoes, chicken broth and Tuscan Chicken Slow-Cooker Sauce Mix in a 4-quart or larger slow cooker.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Cook on low 4-5 hours.  Makes 4-6 servings (mine did 6).

Make Ahead & Freeze:  Combine all ingredients except kale in a gallon resealable freezer bag.  Freeze.  Thaw and cook according to directions above, adding kale.
