Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 14g
  • 2 leeks chopped the base and about half way up the green until it gets tough
  • 6 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 bunch of celery chopped I used mine from the farm which is a lot smaller and more flavorful then store bought, I'm estimating about 5 stalks with leaves or a package of hearts as a close substitute
  • 2-3 cups of carrots chopped around 300g
  • About 1 cup of green or wax beans cut in chunks I used half and half around 180g
  • 1 15 oz can of Great Northern Beans White Beans drained and rinsed
  • 4-5 sprigs of fresh Rosemary stems removed and chopped (could use dried about ¼ teaspoon or more to taste)
  • About 7 cups of your favorite vegetable or chicken broth or stock I used 4 cans of low sodium chicken
  • About 1 lb fresh kale stems removed and chopped.

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large stock post over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic. Sauté until just soft.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 leeks chopped, 6 cloves of garlic minced
  • Add the celery, carrots, and green beans, Stir to combine everything. Add the white beans and rosemary. Stir and continue to cook for a few minutes.

  • Add the broth and raise the temp to high to bring to just boiling. Cover and lower to a simmer for about 30 minute until the carrots soften.
    About 7 cups of your favorite vegetable or chicken broth or stock
  • Stir in the chopped kale and cook for just a minute or two to soften or longer if desired. I like mine to still have some bite.
    About 1 lb fresh kale
