Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon thyme
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 can canned diced tomatoes
  • 2 leaves bay leaves
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 can canned cannellini beans
  • 1 cup cooked lentils
  • 1 cup small pasta
  • 2 cups kale
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sautéing until it’s translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the vegetables: Stir in the carrots, celery, zucchini, and sweet potato. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften slightly.
  3. Introduce the flavor bomb: Add the garlic, oregano, and thyme. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  4. Build the base: Mix in the tomato paste and canned diced tomatoes, stirring to combine. Allow this mixture to cook, letting the flavors deepen for about 3 minutes.
  5. Add liquids and simmer: Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and toss in the bay leaves. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  6. Add the protein: Stir in the cannellini beans and cooked lentils. If you’re adding pasta, toss it in now, and simmer until the pasta is tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  7. Add greens and finish: Just before serving, add the kale and baby spinach to the pot. Cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzling with extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkling with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese, or a suitable alternative.

Notes

Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions for up to 3 months.
