Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups kale, chopped
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and carrots until soft, about 5–7 minutes.
2. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the cannellini beans and broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Lower heat and add the heavy cream. Stir in chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 3–5 minutes.
5. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until fully melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot, topped with extra Parmesan and black pepper.
Notes
For a thicker soup, mash a portion of the beans before adding the cream.
If you prefer a lighter option, swap heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
