Tuscan White Bean and Kale Soup Recipe Idea
Tuscan White Bean & Kale Soup🥣✨
Ingredients:
3 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
⅓ cup white wine (e.g., pinot grigio)
2 cups chopped kale (stems removed, finely chopped)
2 ½ to 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (adjust to desired consistency)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions:
• Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it starts to brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, celery, and chopped carrots. Continue sautéing for about 10 more minutes until the vegetables soften and brown slightly. This browning will add depth of flavor.
• Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the white wine and cook for 5-7 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally.
• Add Remaining Ingredients (Except Kale): Stir in the drained beans, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), Italian seasoning, bay leaves, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Pour in 2 ½ cups of broth to start (you can adjust the amount later if needed). Stir well to combine.
• Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Blend a Portion for Creaminess: Once the soup has simmered, remove and discard the bay leaves. Transfer about 2 ½ to 3 cups of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended portion back to the pot and stir to combine. If the soup is too thick, add more broth until it reaches your preferred consistency.
• Add the Kale: Stir in the chopped kale and let the soup simmer for a few more minutes until the kale wilts. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness if desired.
• Serve: Serve the soup warm, paired with hearty bread for dipping. Enjoy this wholesome, nourishing meal!

She hasn’t had the easiest life- in fact, it has often brought her to her knees Strong Woman Reality Quote By Ravenwolf
I absolutely love her writing and will always share. My only hope is that it inspires other women. We are in this thing called life together ladies! Sending love to all!
She hasn’t had the easiest life- in fact, it has often brought her to her knees.
While the people she meets would marvel at her strength, they don’t know the struggles she’s endured to become the woman she is today.
Yes, she’s found a way to dig deep and rise above the fire that once threatened to tear her apart.
She still cries in the shower sometimes and fights to keep it together..but she knows what it takes now to keep moving forward.
There’s still days that she battles just to keep a smile on her face, but she’s become used to that- she’s a fighter.
She’s walked through the fire, risen from the ashes and did what she had to do to survive the hard times..
And she doesn’t regret any of it.
She learned from the toughest challenges what it takes to do more than simply survive...she wants to thrive and be happy, most of all.
She is done living day to day and heartbreak to heartache.
She’s determined to thrive, rise above and find her wings again.
She’s not a princess, a damsel in distress or a starry eyed girl in search of love.
She’s turned her pain into power and transformed herself into a queen..
Never settling, accepting no excuses and no longer allowing anyone to mistreat or disrespect her.
She’ll admit that she doesn’t have all the answers and she doesn’t always know what her days will bring..and she’s more than okay with that.
She’s gritty, courageous and full of zeal.
Maybe she falls and stumbles, perhaps she takes some wrong turns and makes some bad decisions.
She owns her mistakes and appreciates life in the small moments of beauty that she sees.
To her, strong is the new pretty and she’s not out to impress or win anyone’s approval.
She’s happy living her best life and spreading sparkle, love and sassy wherever she goes.
Oh, and one more thing..
When they try to call her “princess”, “hot”, or “sweetheart,” she’ll just smile at them and remind them in the most charming way she knows how..
“I think you’re mispronouncing queen, darling.”
And with a smile and a wink, they realize that she’s one of a kind..
Queens aren’t born, they’re made.
With her crown forged in the fire, she was made to be great.
