Kale and White Bean Soup

We just bought six bunches of kale and after rinsing them and chopping them up I started steaming them in my stock pot. Then I quick rinsed soaked and boiled a one pound package of dried Northern white beans for a few minutes to plump them up. I let them rest for an hour before I pressure cooked them for 20 minutes with a few bloops of olive oil. I chopped fresh garlic cloves and sliced huge chunks of ginger and added it to the pot. I dissolved a bunch of Maggi chicken bullion cubes in a cup of boiling water and added a splash of cheap port and more olive oil and a few sprinkles of red chili flakes and some dried parsley. I added this all to the pot with more water and brought it up to a simmer. It tastes fantastic.
