Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 14 oz canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup canned cannellini beans (or chickpeas or black beans)
  • 1 cup cooked lentils (or ½ cup dried)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup small pasta (e.g., ditalini or orzo)
  • 1 cup kale, shredded
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add diced onion, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced zucchini. Season lightly with sea salt and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the diced sweet potato and cook for another minute. Then add minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and tomato paste; mix until well combined.
  3. Pour in canned diced tomatoes with their juices along with vegetable broth, cannellini beans (or chickpeas/black beans), cooked lentils (or dried), and bay leaves. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in small pasta; if the soup thickens too much, add more broth or water as needed. Simmer an additional 10 minutes until pasta is tender.
  5. Add shredded kale and baby spinach into the soup mixture; stir just until wilted—about 1 minute.
  6. Serve hot with optional garnishes like extra virgin olive oil or chopped parsley.
