Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in the chopped kale. Cook until the kale wilts and becomes tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to your taste.
  8. Serve hot and share the warmth!

Notes

  • You can use any white bean variety you prefer, such as Great Northern beans.
  • If your kale is very thick, chop it smaller for quicker cooking.
  • For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
  • A splash of lemon juice added at the end brightens the stew wonderfully.
