Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 28 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 30 oz. canned white beans* (two 15 oz. cans)
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)
  • 2 cups Lacinato kale
  • 1 tsp. dried basil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dice onion.
  2. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for about 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. vegetable broth/water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
  3. Meanwhile, mince garlic and dice zucchini.
  4. When onion is translucent, add garlic, zucchini, and dried basil. Stir and sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Add vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and white beans (rinsed and drained). Increase heat and bring to a light boil.
  6. Once boiling reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, roughly chop kale (large stems removed). Stir in kale and vinegar during the last few minutes of cooking. Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • *White beans: You can use either great northern, cannellini, or navy beans. (Most of the time I use great northern.)
  • Spicy version: Use fire-roasted tomatoes with medium green chiles, or top your bowl with red pepper flakes.
