The recipe for the soup, comes from Cooking Light. Adding kale to the soup - that's my idea. Worked quite well.  Recipe makes 4 servings.  Nutritional count is for 1 serving.  Delicious!

Saute 1 minute in Dutch Oven and then lower to med-low for 6 minutes. Do not brown. Stir every so often.
   4 teaspoons olive oil
   3 cups sliced fennel bulb
   1 cup chopped onion
   3 gloves garlic, minced
   1/4 tsp salt

Add and bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.

   2.5 Cups water
   1/2 tsp white wine vinegar
   1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
   another 1/4 tsp salt
   1/4 tsp ground pepper

Blend, in blender or Vitamix, until soup is smooth. Do about 1/2 the ingredients.  Pour into a large bowl. Do the other 1/2. 

Chop fine and put in each serving bowl
   1 cup kale (i.e. 4 cups of kale for the recipe)

Combine and divide among the servings, and top with
   1/2 cup peanuts, dry roasted, unsalted
