  • 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
  • ½ 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

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan or vegan alternative

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced zucchini; season with salt. Cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
  2. Stir in diced sweet potato and continue cooking for 1 minute. Add minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and tomato paste; mix until fragrant.
  3. Pour in canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add cannellini beans (or chickpeas/black beans), cooked lentils (or dried), and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in small pasta; if the soup thickens too much, add more broth or water as needed. Simmer for another 10 minutes until pasta is tender.
  5. Finally, mix in shredded kale and baby spinach until wilted (about 1 minute). Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper before serving.
