Tuscan Kale and White Bean Soup
Course Soup
Cuisine Italian
Large Pot
Knife
Cutting Board
Wooden Spoon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
- 2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until it softens.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the chopped kale and stir for 2 minutes until it begins to wilt.
Pour in the vegetable broth. Add the drained white beans, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kale is tender and the flavors have blended.
If the broth reduces too much during simmering, add a splash of water to reach your preferred consistency. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to three days and reheat gently on the stove without losing much texture. For a brighter finish, stir in a squeeze of lemon juice right before serving.
