Tuscan White Bean & Kale Soup

This soup has long been a family favorite. It is my go-to soup when someone is sick, or if I want to make a soup on the fly, I always have all of the ingredients on hand. Starting with the holy trinity (carrots, onion, and celery), I finish the soup using curly kale vs. the flat Lacinato or dinosaur kale. But if you don’t like kale, feel free to use spinach or cabbage in its place.

It’s the perfect winter soup because it’s rich in fiber, but not calorically dense making it ideal for the less active chilly days ahead.

The recipe also makes a big batch so that you’ll have plenty left over for lunches throughout the week, or you can freeze the rest for a rainy day. Enjoy!
