Tomato White Bean Soup
Start your week off with this simple Tomato White Bean Soup recipe – the perfect soup dish to make on a fall evening and eat from for the next couple days! This dish is not only easy, it’s full of vegetables and is vegetarian and vegan friendly. If you’re not vegan or dairy-free, you can swap the nutritional yeast for Parmesan cheese, if desired. This Italian-inspired soup is one of my new favorite ways to get a dose of veggies in my diet.
By using the canned tomatoes (I used Pastene’s small whole cherry tomatoes) and vegetable broth, this soup tastes like it’s been cooking for hours instead of just 45 minutes. The sugar is optional, but I find it balances out the acidity of the tomatoes. Also, feel free to use spinach instead of kale, if preferred.
