Stir regularly to make sure that the split peas don't stick to the bottom of the pan, and add water if necessary.

For kale that retains some crunch, simply leave the pot covered for 5 or 10 minutes without heating, allowing the kale to cook in the heat of the soup. For kale that is more tender, you may return the pot to low heat for 10 minutes.
