Equipment

  • large pot
  • dutch oven
  • blender

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cans cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • ⅓ cup white wine I used pinot grigio
  • 2 cups kale stems removed, finely chopped
  • 2.5-4 cups vegetable or chicken broth see notes
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes omit if you don't like spice
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 leaves bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
 

  • Saute the finely chopped onion in a large pot or Dutch oven with the olive oil.
  • Once it starts to brown slightly, add in the garlic, celery, and carrot. Saute for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Add in the white wine and saute until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in all remaining ingredients except for the kale, and stir well.
  • Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Discard the bay leaves, then transfer about 2 ½ - 3 cups worth of the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer back to the pot and stir well to combine. If it's too thick, add in more broth.
  • Add in the chopped kale and let simmer for a few minutes to allow the kale to wilt. Taste and adjust flavors as desired.
  • Serve warm as is or with a hearty bread on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

There is a range for the broth amount based on desired thickness. Starting with 2 ½ cups is recommended. Wine can be omitted for a lighter flavor.
