Cozy White Bean & Greens Soup.

This white bean kale soup is a winter staple. It’s hearty and rich from the parmesan broth and mashed beans, loaded with vegetables and tons of flavor. And it’s good for you too! Love love love.

Another winter week, another soup.

This white bean kale soup is loaded with beans, greens, veggies and a super rich and flavorful parmesan broth. It tastes amazing, nourishes you in the colder months and can be an excellent base soup for lots of your favorite add-ins.

This is such a cozy, EASY winter soup.

The star of the show is the parmesan broth. Go today and get a bunch of parmesan rinds and stick them in your freezer. They make the world (and your soup!) so much better.

If it wasn’t for the parmesan broth, this would be way too boring for me. Carrots, celery, beans, kale and spinach… hmmm. Not sure I’d love it as much without all the garlic and the parm! 

But thankfully I am the tester and I’m here to tell you that it’s perfect. 

It tastes nourishing and feels good. Like a soup for the soul. Cheesy, but true!

Also… actually cheesy. I can’t get enough. 

And there’s another reason why the soup feels a bit heartier than you’d think:

we’re mashing some of the beans!

For years you guys have been telling me that this is one of your favorite ways to thicken soups. I don’t do a full puree, but I do mash one whole can to add some creaminess and texture. It’s awesome! 

Let’s talk about how quick it comes together!

First in: onions, garlic, celery and carrots. I like mine all diced so they are in tiny bits. Think like a chopped salad… but in soup!

Next in, the stock, parmesan rind and beans. This is where we simmer things together so they get extra flavorful. As soon as the veggies are tender, it’s ready to eat. But the longer things simmer, the better they will taste! (more…)
