Ingrédients

3 15 ounce cans cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)

1 yellow onion (finely chopped)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 large carrots (peeled and chopped)

1 stalk celery (diced)

1/3 cup white wine (I used pinot grigio)

2 cups chopped kale (stems removed, finely chopped)

2 1/2 - 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (see notes)

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (omit if you don't like spice)

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 bay leaves

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

saute onion

Saute the finely chopped onion in a large pot or dutch oven with the oil.

add veggies

Once it starts to brown slightly, add in the garlic, celery and carrot. Saute an additional 10 or so minutes to let the veggies soften and brown slightly. The browning helps add lots of flavor!

add wine

Add in the white wine and saute until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

add all ingredients

Add in all remaining ingredients except for the kale (see notes about the amount of broth since there is a range, but I recommend starting with 2 1/2 cups), and stir well.

boil

Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 15 minutes.

blend

Discard the bay leaves, then transfer about 2 1/2 - 3 cups worth of the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth.

stir

Transfer back to the pot and stir well to combine. If it's too thick, add in more broth until it reaches your desired consistency.

add kale

Add in the chopped kale and let simmer for a few minutes to allow the kale to wilt. Taste and adjust flavors as desired. I usually add a bit more salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.

serve

Serve warm as is or with a hearty bread on the side. Enjoy!
