Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced
• 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 15 ounces canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 4 cups kale, ribs removed and chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon (to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (to taste) black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potato, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), vegetable broth, cannellini beans, thyme, rosemary, cumin, and the bay leaf to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and discard.

Step 7

Add the chopped kale to the pot and stir. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the kale has wilted and is tender.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. For added texture, serve with crusty bread or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
