Tips and Tricks
Kale
Use fresh, tender kale leaves. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves finely for a better texture in the soup.
Olive Oil
Use extra virgin olive oil for a richer flavor. It complements the garlic and onion well.
Garlic
Mince the garlic finely to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the soup, providing a consistent garlic flavor.
Beans
Use one part of the beans whole and another part pureed. This technique adds a creamy texture to the soup without adding dairy.
Broth
Use low-sodium vegetable broth to control the saltiness of the soup. This allows you to adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Tomatoes
Use diced tomatoes with no added salt to keep the sodium level in check. Fire-roasted tomatoes can add a smoky flavor if you prefer.
Carrots
Use canned sliced carrots for convenience, but make sure to include the liquid for added flavor. If using fresh carrots, slice them thinly so they cook evenly.
Seasoning
Adjust the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to your taste. You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat if desired.
Pureeing
Blend the reserved beans and broth until completely smooth. This will thicken the soup and add a creamy texture.
Simmering
Simmer the soup gently to allow the flavors to meld together. Avoid boiling to keep the kale tender and the flavors balanced.
Serving
Top each bowl with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. This adds a burst of flavor and a touch of color to the dish.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. The soup can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a bit of broth or water if needed to reach the desired consistency.
