    Ingredients

    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1 medium yellow onion diced
    1 Small leek sliced
    2 medium carrots diced
    2 stalks celery diced
    1 medium zucchini diced (I sometimes add in a yellow squash too)
    3cloves garlic pressed
    ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (less if you’re not sure about the heat)
    1 teaspoon thyme chopped
    1 teaspoon rosemary chopped
    1-quart vegetable  broth (I like using our homemade broth)
    2 (14 ounce) cans white beans drained and rinsed (I can my own)
    1 (14 ounce) can no-salt-added diced fire-roasted tomatoes with juices
    3 cups chopped kale ribs removed
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

    Directions

    1. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a 6 quart or larger Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions, leek, carrots, celery, zucchini, and squash. Saute for 5 minutes. Veggies should be lightly browned
    2. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, thyme, and rosemary. Cook about 1 minute
    3. Stir in the broth, beans, and tomatoes. Bring the contents to a boil, then turn the heat down to low.
    4. Simmer for 20 minutes.  Add the chopped kale. Cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
    5. Use an immersion/stick blender to partially puree the soup, leave some chunks of beans and vegetables for texture.
    6. Add the salt, pepper, and vinegar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

    Serve with a side of crusty bread.

    This soup is even better the next day!
