Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
6 cups vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in vegetable broth, cannellini beans, and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in the chopped kale. Cook until the kale is tender, about 5-10 minutes.

Notes
For a creamier soup, you can blend about 1 cup of the soup and stir it back in.
Add cooked sausage or chicken for a heartier meal.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
