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.
