Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups kale, chopped

Liquids and Canned Goods

  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, rinsed

Other Ingredients

  • 1 cup small pasta (like ditalini)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, diced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice, vegetable broth, rinsed cannellini beans, small pasta, chopped kale, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  3. Simmer soup: Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for 20 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the pasta with gluten-free pasta or omit it altogether.
  • You can add other winter vegetables like diced potatoes or zucchini to vary the soup.
  • Adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Italian herbs to your taste.
  • For added protein, consider topping with grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of pesto (if not vegan).
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
