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
1 cup small pasta (e.g., ditalini or orzo)
1 cup kale, shredded
1 cup baby spinach
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add onion, carrots, celery, and zucchini. Season lightly with salt and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in sweet potato and cook for an additional minute. Add minced garlic along with oregano, thyme, and tomato paste; mix well.
Pour in diced tomatoes and vegetable broth along with beans, lentils, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil then reduce heat; let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.
Add the pasta into the pot; if the soup thickens too much during cooking, add more broth or water as needed. Simmer for another 10 minutes until pasta is tender.
Toss in kale and spinach; stir gently until just wilted (about one minute). Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot in bowls garnished with extra virgin olive oil and fresh parsley if desired.
