Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Saute the finely chopped onion in a large pot or dutch oven with the olive oil.
  • Once it starts to brown slightly, add in the garlic, celery, and carrot. Saute an additional 10 minutes to let the veggies soften and brown.
  • Add in the white wine and saute until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in all remaining ingredients except for the kale, and stir well.
  • Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Discard the bay leaves, then transfer about 2 ½ - 3 cups worth of the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer back to the pot and stir well to combine. Adjust thickness with broth as needed.
  • Add in the chopped kale and let simmer for a few minutes to wilt. Adjust flavors with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve warm as is or with a hearty bread on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

For thickness preference, use between 2.5 to 4 cups of broth. You can leave out the wine if preferred, but it's recommended for flavor.
