  • 45 min
    • Preparation 45 min

Ingredients

4 People
  • 800 g Cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1 Large carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 1 stalks Celery, diced
  • 50 ml White wine e.g. Pinot Grigio
  • 100 g Chopped kale with stems removed, finely chopped
  • 300 g Vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp. Tomato paste
  • 1 tsp. Salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp. Black pepper or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp. Red pepper flakes, omit if you don't like it spicy
  • 0.5 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 Bay leave
  • 1 tsp. Dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp. Dried oregano
  • 1 cups Fresh tomato, sliced into cubes

Preparation

Step 1
Sauté the finely chopped onion in a large pot with the oil. Once it starts to brown slightly, add the garlic, celery and carrot. Sauté for an additional 10 minutes to let the veggies soften and brown slightly. The browning helps add lots of flavor.

Garlic, minced
tbsp. Olive oil
Large carrot, peeled and chopped
stalks Celery, diced
Step 2
Add the white wine and sauté until most of the liquid has evaporated, for about 5–7 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients except for the kale and stir well.

tsp. Salt or to taste

tsp. Red pepper flakes, omit if you don't like it spicy
tsp. Italian seasoning
Bay leave

Step 3
Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaf, then transfer about 2.5–3 cups of the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Step 4
Put it back in the pot and stir well to combine. If it's too thick, add more broth until it reaches the desired consistency. Add the chopped kale and let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the kale to wilt. Taste and adjust the flavors as desired. Before serving add sliced tomatoes and stir.
