Quick and healthy soup recipe
Super easy. Oh, so beautiful. Incredibly delicious. Healthy soup recipe.
I think that about sums it up. This soup can be made in a jiffy with a few staple ingredients that can probably be found in any health nut’s kitchen–kale, beans, and sundried tomatoes. You can literally throw everything in the pot and the result will be an amazing soup experience.
Tuscany in a bowl
The inspiration for this soup recipe came from my desperation to have a much needed “vacation“ at home. Tired, hungry, and bored, I rummaged through my depleted pantry and fridge to see what I could whip up to appease my need for adventure and escape. I decided to take a trip to Italy once my sun-dried tomatoes arrived at my front door from Walmart’s free next-day delivery (love that!!!).
Sun-dried tomatoes make the dish
Although I have never been to Italy, at least not yet, I fantasized that I was Under the Tuscan Sun (a cute little rom-com for those of you who don’t know) as I grabbed my California Sun Dry Sun-dried Tomatoes out of the box. Immediately, I knew that I could pair the edible rubies with the equally Italian cannellini beans and kale. And let me just say that the trio was a perfect match! (Another key ingredient used in this recipe was my Simplify Your Life (S.Y.L.) Winner #2: Better Than Bouillon Garlic Base.)
Garnish thoroughly!
This healthy soup recipe can easily shine on its own. However, as you can see in the featured image and in the recipe description, I chose to add quite a few garnishes. Honestly, I just wanted it to look really pretty (remember, I was on vacation) and have some textured elements. Therefore, if accessible to you, I would highly recommend that you add every last one of those garnish items. Each of them adds a special something-something to the finished dish.
Quick and easy to make, warm, comforting, and absolutely delicious. I’m adding this one to my top favorite soup recipes and I hope you do too!
