Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup chopped kale
  • 1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft.
  2. Add garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Stir in oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute.

  5. Add white beans and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Lightly mash some of the beans in the pot to thicken the soup.
  7. Add kale and cook for another 5 minutes until wilted.
  8. Stir in lemon juice and parsley. Adjust seasoning and serve warm.

Notes

  • Mash or blend part of the soup for a creamier texture.
  • Use spinach or Swiss chard instead of kale if preferred.
  • Add cooked chicken or turkey for extra protein.
  • Adjust spice level by omitting red pepper flakes.
  • Add pasta or rice for a heartier version.
