Ingredients
Soup Ingredients
- 2 cups white beans (cooked or canned)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Sauté Tomatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.
- Add Beans and Broth: Stir in the cooked or canned white beans and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Add Kale and Seasoning: Add the chopped kale and Italian seasoning to the pot. Continue cooking the soup for an additional 5 minutes until the kale is tender but still vibrant.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, blend half of the soup using an immersion blender or regular blender, then combine it back with the rest.
- Use cannellini or navy beans as white bean options for best results.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
- This soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and tastes even better the next day.
