Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups canned white beans (cannellini), rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 fennel bulb, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped kale
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions, carrots, and celery for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add fennel and garlic, and cook for 3 more minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in diced tomatoes, white beans, thyme, and oregano. Cook for a few minutes.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt. Simmer for 15–20 minutes.

Notes

  • Mash some beans into the soup for extra creaminess.
  • Use spinach instead of kale for a softer green.
  • Add a parmesan rind while simmering for a deeper flavor.
