White Bean & Kale Soup

COZY UP WITH A CUP OF THIS VEGGIE SOUP!

With temperatures hitting winter lows here in Colorado, I am all about a bowl of soup at the end of the day! The first time I made this in our home it was around 8:00 am on a Saturday of meal prepping. My husband woke up, came downstairs + asked, “are you making pizza?”

No lie, this soup smells like pizza + tastes just as good! Plant-based, gluten-free + full of filling fiber, plant protein + greens - this is a one stop shop for winter meals from here on out! Ready in 30 minutes + with less than 10 ingredients - serve in a big ol’ bowl or as a side to another recipe, I promise this is a soup that will not disappoint.

MAKE IT VEGAN

  • Use vegetable stock.

  • Opt out on the parmesan or use a dairy-free cheese.

MAKE IT PALEO

  • Sub beans for another favorite protein. Chicken would taste great shredded up + tossed in!

  • Skip the cheese.
