1. In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the bay leaves and minced garlic and reduce heat to a medium boil. Uncovered, reduce the liquid to 8 Cups (one half original volume). This will take between 1-2 hours. 2. Remove the bay leaves and take the broth off the heat. Allow the broth to cool. 3. Add the dried, great northern beans to the broth, cover, and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours). 4. Once the beans have re-hydrated, place the beans and the broth back in the pot and bring to a low boil or simmer. Cover and cook for 45 minutes to an hour. 5. Remove the stems and central stalk from the kale leaves. Finely chop the kale. Add to the simmering broth along with the whole garlic cloves and the whipping cream. Bring the liquid back to a simmer, cover, and cook for another 45 minutes. 6. Serve, hot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
