Ingredients
  

  • 3 cans cannellini beans 15 ounce cans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing
  • 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 1/3 cup white grape juice pinot grigio for added flavor
  • 2 cups chopped kale stems removed, finely chopped
  • 2 1/2 - 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth adjust based on desired consistency
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste for depth of flavor
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes omit if you don't like spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning for herby goodness
  • 2 bay leaves to infuse flavor during cooking
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme adds earthiness
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano complements the other herbs beautifully

Method
 

  1. Sauté the finely chopped onion in a large pot or Dutch oven with the olive oil over medium heat. As the onion turns translucent and begins to brown slightly, add in the minced garlic, diced celery, and chopped carrots. Continue to sauté for about 10 minutes until all the veggies soften and develop a rich color.
  2. Pour in the white grape juice and allow it to cook down until most of the liquid has evaporated—this should take around 5 minutes.
  3. Once deglazed, add all remaining ingredients except for the kale into the pot; this includes rinsed cannellini beans, broth (starting with 2 1/2 cups), tomato paste, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano. Stir well to combine everything evenly before bringing it all to a boil.
  4. After reaching a boil, cover your pot and reduce the heat to low; let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes.
