Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 2 medium carrot diced
- 2 celery diced, stalks
- kosher salt to taste
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon rosemary finely chopped, fresh
- 1 Tablespoon oregano finely chopped, fresh
- 1 Tablespoon thyme finely chopped, fresh
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 30 ounces cannellini beans drained and rinsed, 2 cans
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 3 cups kale shredded
- ½-1 lemon freshly squeezed
- parsley chopped for garnish, optional, fresh
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the onion, shallot, carrot, and celery with a large pinch of salt. Saute for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add garlic, herbs, peppers, and another generous pinch of salt. Stir, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then stir in the vegetable boullion and the Worcestershire sauce; cook for another 1 minute.
- Add beans and broth. Bring to a simmer for around 15 minutes until the flavor has developed. Stir in the kale at the end to wilt. Finally, squeeze half of a lemon's juice, then taste test and add salt if needed. The lemon will help to bring out flavor and really brighten up the soup.
- Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately. Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. It also freezes really well!
