Pasta, Kale, and White Bean Soup

Picture of Pasta, Kale and White Bean Soup Recipe

Ingredients:
1 small onion, diced
3 carrots, cut into 1/2 inc pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp tomato paste
3/4 tsp chopped fresh Thyme
4 cups vegetable broth, low sodium
4 cups water
1 1/2 cups small pasta, such as ditalini
1, 15oz can white beans, drained and rinsed
1-2 cups chopped fresh Kale
olive oil
salt

Directions:
Pour about 1 Tbsp olive oil in the bottom of a large stock pot and heat over medium heat.  Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 3 min.  Add the carrots, garlic, tomato paste, thyme and 1/2 tsp salt.  Cook until carrots begin to soften, about 2 min.  Add the vegetable broth and water.  Increase heat to high; cover and bring to a boil.
Add the pasta and beans and cook, uncovered, 5 minutes.  Reduce heat to medium and add kale.  Simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 7 minutes.  
Ladle into bowls and top with dairy-free parmesan cheese.

I served with Herbed French Bread for a complete meal.
