White Bean Tomato Soup

White Bean Tomato Soup is a hearty, but low calorie, tomato-based soup. It’s made with canned tomatoes, beans, carrots, kale, and lots of warm spices.

I think I could live on soup alone. As far as I am concerned, there is nothing better than a hot bowl of homemade soup. I actually don’t know what I like better, making homemade soup or eating homemade soup.

Making homemade soup is pretty easy as far as I’m concerned. You just start with a base, which in this case is tomatoes and chicken stock (you can sub vegetable stock if you are vegan or vegetarian). And then you add veggies. For my White Bean Tomato Soup is used carrots for sweetness and the kale to extra nutrients. If you’re not on Team Kale, stay with me because I am almost certain you will eat it and not even know you’re eating in this soup.

I used organic Red Kale, which is also known as Red Russian Kale. The reason I picked red kale over curly kale, which is most common, is that it has a less bitter taste and I thought it would pair nicely with the sweetness of the carrots. Truth is that you probably can’t even taste the kale in this soup but it certainly does make it healthier and good for you. I should also tell you that I used a combination of Navy beans and cannellini beans which are my two favorite types of white beans.
