Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 3 1/2 cups cooked cannellini beans
  • 7 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 3 cups chopped kale
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté until soft and fragrant.
  2. Stir in crushed tomatoes and rosemary. Cook for a few minutes to develop flavor.
  3. Add vegetable broth and cooked white beans. Simmer for about 25 minutes, allowing the beans to soften and release starch for creaminess.
