Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced
  • 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
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and zucchini; season lightly with salt and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in sweet potato and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic, oregano, thyme, and tomato paste; mix well.
  3. Incorporate canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, beans, lentils, 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 an additional 10 minutes until pasta is tender.
  5. Add kale and spinach; stir until wilted—about 1 minute—then adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with olive oil and parsley if desired.
