Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 medium celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 15 ounces canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 4 cups kale or spinach, roughly chopped
• 6 cups vegetable stock
• 3 medium potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 loaf crusty bread (for serving, optional)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, chopped carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened and aromatic.

Step 2

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a large crock pot, add the sautéed vegetable mixture, diced tomatoes (including their liquid), cannellini beans, kale or spinach, vegetable stock, and diced potatoes.

Step 4

Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the ingredients. Stir everything gently to combine.

Step 5

Secure the lid on the crock pot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. Ensure the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 6

Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 7

Ladle soup into bowls and serve warm. If desired, garnish each bowl with grated Parmesan cheese and serve with slices of crusty bread on the side for dipping.
