Hearty Kale, White Bean and Tomato Soup
Are you cold?
Make some soup.
Don’t you feel better now?
Enjoy…
Hearty Kale, White Bean and Tomato Soup
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 2 onions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- pinch salt and pepper
- 2 heaping teaspoons vegetable base bouillon
- 2 15oz cans white beans, rinsed (I used Bush’s Great Northern Beans, cannellini would be good here too)
- 2 15oz cans Italian diced tomatoes with juices (if you use plain diced tomatoes, be sure to add a few pinches of dried Italian seasoning or oregano)
- 3 cans water (I like to ‘clean’ out the leftovers in the tomato and bean cans)
- large handful of chopped kale leaves
Directions:
- Heat oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add celery, carrots, onions and garlic to pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables start to soften. Add vegetable base bouillon to vegetables and stir with a wooden spoon until vegetables and bouillon are combined. Cook for a couple minutes more.
- Add beans, tomatoes and water to vegetables. Cook over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add kale leaves to soup. Cook soup for about 25-30 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust if necessary.

Do you think this would freeze well? I’m curious to see if beans and kale would freeze and reheat well?
Hi Kristi!
Yes, this definitely freezes well. I put a bunch in snapware for quick dinners and it reheated well. I let it defrost in the fridge for most of the day before I reheated it.
YEAAA-AAAAH.

Hi Megan! I haven’t tried it in the crock pot, but I don’t see why not? Let me know if you try it! I hope to try more soups using the crock pot this year.

I was wondering if I didn’t have vegetable base could I use vegetable broth and cut back the water? It looks amazing!! Thank you!!!
Kathy
Hi Kathy! Yes, absolutely. I would sub in 4-6 cups of the broth depending on how much soup you want to make, pretty flexible recipe when it comes to that. And adjust seasoning/salt as you go because all broths/bases taste different! Let me know if you try! Enjoy!!
