Ingredients:
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cup chopped red onions
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes, low sodium
8 oz kale, chopped
8 oz swiss chard, chopped
2 cups canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
7 cups vegetable broth, low sodium
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until veggies begin to soften, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic and pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute. Add diced tomatoes (with juice), kale and chard. Cook until kale is wilted, 8-10 minutes.
Puree 1 cup of the beans and 1 cup of the broth in a blender. Add to the soup along with the remaining beans and 6 cups of broth. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in the basil and salt. Simmer 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan and a slice of crusty bread on the side.
