White Bean, Kale, and Vegetable Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 cup chopped carrots, peeled peeled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced minced
- 4 cups Vegetable Broth or water see Recipe Notes
- 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chopped B-size red potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch piece
- 2 cups fresh or frozen green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups kale, torn into bite-size pieces, lightly packed
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onions and carrots until vegetables are softened. Stir in garlic, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly so garlic doesn’t burn.
- Add water or broth, cannellini beans, tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, kale, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, over low heat about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1 cup)
Notes
- Remove ribs from kale before using.
- Substitute great northern beans for cannellini beans.
- Use russet potatoes instead of red potatoes.
- If you don’t have time to make your own vegetable broth, you can use a store-brought brand that’s Daniel Fast friendly. I recommend Kitchen Basics Unsalted Vegetable Stock.
Is there any crackers allowed on the Daniels fast? like nut-thins?
Hi, Chastity! Yes, it’s possible to find Daniel Fast friendly crackers. First, they must be whole grain. Second, they must be baked (package will say “baked”). Some people choose to have plain Triscuits. But check the ingredients label because there are some Triscuits that aren’t Daniel Fast friendly. Nut Thins are NOT allowed on the fast because they contain ingredients that are restricted (such as milk). If you haven questions on other specific brands, let me know. I hope this information helps!
This was the first time my husband and I have been on the Daniel Fast. I must say the food is DELICIOUS!! This is one of our favorite soups! We will defiantly be using this well after our fast is over. Thanks a Million!!
Hi! I’m glad to hear you and your husband are doing the Daniel Fast together. May the Lord fill you both with His power and peace as you seek Him. Thanks for taking time to comment and for your positive feedback!
I used a can of mild rotel in place of the diced tomatoes and left out the green beans. It was amazing!
Great idea! Thanks for your suggestion.
Awesome soup! I will make this again and again! Thanks for these recipes?
I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks for your feedback.
Could this be made in a crockpot and still taste delicious?
Yes, it sure can. Thanks for your question!
Do you have a recipe for vegetable broth?

I just started a Daniel fast yesterday and am so glad that I found your website! I made this soup for dinner last night . . . everyone loved it! I made a double batch so I would have lots of leftovers – and it’s a good thing I did! 😉
Can you freeze the soups? I have try some of the recipe and they are good !!!!
Yes, this soup will freeze just fine.
Love this recipe for the Daniel Fast, but we eat it regularly in our normal diet. It’s that delicious! It’s definitely best with homemade veggie broth. 🙂
Jennifer, thanks for your comment! Yes, I agree. This recipe is great anytime!
