You could add them to a minestroni soup or a bean soup or lentil soup..........

Not the entire bag .........unless you are making a huge pot of soup in the winter time to feed a crowd.........

I would usually use SPINACH.........for my winter soups......and Italians use spinach or ESCAROLE for their bean soups.......but you can experiment.

Re the hyperlink above, keep scrolling down for more information on kale and people's comments on the recipe.
Towards the middle of the "comments" one person suggested roasting it with garlic, etc. Garlic and onions can make anything tasty....but yes, kale is bitter.
Just keep scrolling down for myriad ways of preparing KALE.
