Ingredients

  • 3 15 ounce cans cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • ⅓ cup white wine I used pinot grigio
  • 2 cups chopped kale stems removed, finely chopped
  • 2 ½ - 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth see notes for amount
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Saute the finely chopped onion in a large pot or dutch oven with the oil.
  • 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 in the white wine and saute until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in all remaining ingredients except for the kale and stir well.
  • Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Discard the bay leaves, then transfer about 2 ½ - 3 cups worth of the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • 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 in the chopped kale and let simmer for a few minutes to allow the kale to wilt. Taste and adjust flavors as desired.
  • Serve warm as is or with a hearty bread on the side.

Notes

You can adjust the amount of broth depending on the desired thickness of the soup. White wine can be omitted for a different flavor.
