This delicious Kale and White Bean Soup is easy to make and perfect for a comforting meal on a chilly winter night. It starts with cooking some garlic and onions together in a pot until they are lightly browned. Next, diced carrots, celery, and potatoes are added along with seasonings like sage, thyme, and bay leaves. Red kidney beans and vegetable broth are added and brought to a boil, before adding kale until it wilts. The soup is cooked until all of the vegetables are tender, and then finished off with a drizzle of lemon juice and extra seasonings to taste. This comforting soup can be enjoyed as is, or with a side of crusty bread for extra flavor.
