Creamy White Bean & Kale Soup

Get ready for a really simple, delicious soup that is vegetarian, healthy, and creamy without any use of cream. This Creamy White Bean & Kale Soup will warm you up, will not disappoint, and can feed a small crowd or can be saved for leftovers. Serve it with a side salad for a tasty soup and salad combo for lunch or dinner.

What makes this soup creamy without cream is the fact that you’re going to blend half the soup in a blender so that you have this veggie and bean puree that thickens the soup. The addition of rice vinegar is necessary – it adds the right amount of acidity to balance the savory flavor of the beans. I used Marukan Genuine Brewed Rice Vinegar. Top each bowl of soup with a drizzle of olive oil and hot sauce to boost the flavor even more and warm you up on a cold winter night.
