When you\u2019re craving something warm and filling, yet robust. This is your go-to. Light enough to keep you going through lunchtime. Being easy on your wallet is a lovely side effect as well. <\/p>\n

With few ingredients, the ones that are on the plate (or in the bowl) have to shine bright. my version of this italian favorite calls for cannellini (also known as white kidney) beans. they have a tender texture and savory flavor that holds well in the soup. if you don\u2019t have cannellini, any white bean will substitute just fine!

I opt for canned tomatoes over fresh, simply because they\u2019re always in season. a fire-roasted variety ads an extra layer of smoky flavor to the broth. Last, kale! almost any variety will do, as long as it\u2019s fresh! frozen kale may lose its crunch in the cooking process. Using fresh kale also allows this soup to hold well, and can even be made in advance for meal prep, or next-day entertaining.<\/p>\n
