Basque Rice-and-Kale Chowder

I made this the first time as a vegetarian desperate for a meal containing beans. I returned to it years later because it was light, but satisfying and kept me feeling satisfied for longer than I had expected. One could easily substitute chicken broth for the vegetable or add sausage to make it heartier and omnivore friendly. I didn't care for the raisins, so I left them out. Overall, this just had a really good flavor and felt satisfying.
