Hearty kale and white bean soup

Ah tis the season for hot soup and warm sweaters! Last night I was in a soup mood, so I decided to throw together this soup, which turned out to be really great. 

Here are the ingredients:
  • 1 small chopped yellow onion 
  • 4 cloves garlic 
  • 3 cups chopped kale 
  • 1 roma tomato, cut into chunks 
  • 5 medium baby bella mushrooms, sliced 
  • 1 box/quart of low sodium vegetable broth 
  • 1 tbsn fresh rosemary 
  • 1 tbsn dried parsley
  • 1 tbsn dried oregano 
  • 1 roasted red pepper, cut into slivers 
  • 1/4 cup hummus (I used homemade hummus, but store bought would work as well)
  • 2-3 tbsn tomato paste (depending on how much tomato taste you like) 
  • 1 can white beans 
  • 1 cup fully cooked brown rice 
  • salt and pepper to taste

1- Saute the onion and garlic in a dash of avocado, canola, or coconut oil (all can withstand higher temperatures) until onions are translucent. You may need to add water if they veggies start to stick. 

2- Add the kale, tomato and mushrooms. Once the kale looks soft and bright green add the vegetable stock as well as the remaining ingredients. Stir well. 

3- Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
