Cooking

4

Sauté the Base

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Combine Ingredients

Pour in the vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes (with juices). Add the chopped kale, rinsed cannellini beans, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.

Simmer the Soup

Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
