Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 3 carrots peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper optional-can add more/less to your liking
  • 1 bunch swiss chard/kale/spinach destemmed and chopped
  • 2 15-ounce cans white beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  • In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for five minutes, then add the carrot, garlic, and seasonings (salt, pepper, and oregano) and continue to sauté for another five minutes.
  • Add the kale to the pot and cook until it starts to wilt, about 5 minutes. Pour in the jar of marinara, vegetable broth, drained beans and red pepper, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for ten to fifteen minutes.
  • In the meantime, boil a pot of water to cook your pasta as directed. Once the pasta is done, strain the excess water and then add it to the pot with the soup. Stir until well-combined and serve!
