Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups kale pieces, stems removed
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cubed about 2 cups

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and spices and cook for 2 minutes, stirring consistently.
  • Add the vegetable broth, water, beans, kale, and potatoes and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove and discard the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to puree some of the soup to desired consistency. Season to taste and serve.
  • Store the cooled soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Immersion blender
  • Cutting board

Notes

  • Make sure you remove the stems from the kale leaves. They are too tough in soup.
  • Make sure you drain and rinse the canned beans.
  • I prefer using canned beans because they're much easier to use but you can also prepare dried beans in advance and use 3 cups worth.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a blender to puree in batches carefully.  You can also use a potato masher and have a chunkier soup.
