Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • cups finely chopped yellow onion about 1 large onion
  • ½ cup finely chopped carrot about 3 medium carrots
  • ½ cup finely chopped celery about 3-4 celery stalks
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or fresh rosemary fresh rosemary is my favorite
  • 2 15-ounce cans white beans drained
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup finely chopped kale or baby spinach
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice about 1 large lemon
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, warm the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook for 7-10 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano (or rosemary) and continue to cook for 5 minutes more.
  • To the pot, add both cans of drained white beans and vegetable broth. Stir to combine. Spoon out about 1½ cups of the soup into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the blended mixture back into the pot with the soup and stir.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, until soup appears slightly thickened and creamy.
  • Lastly, add the kale or spinach. Cover and cook for several minutes, until the greens begin to wilt. Squeeze in lemon juice and stir. Add salt & pepper to taste. Serve warm garnished with parmesan, and enjoy!
