Hello and welcome to winter. Brrr.
Need a bowl of soup? Pull up a chair. I’ve got just the thing.
My bones crave warm things in colder months, especially hot soup and tea lattes.
This recipe was inspired by a soup from one of our favorite lunch spots back in Kansas. It’s warm, brothy, rich from tomato sauce and fired roasted tomatoes, and chock full of hearty veggies like squash, onion, carrot and potatoes. White beans add even more fiber and protein for extra staying power and a buttery finish.
And oh my is it simple.
Just 1 pot required! Throw it all in, let it simmer, and in less than an hour you have enough soup to feed a crowd – or just yourself for the week. Either way, you win.
This soup is PERFECT for winter! It’s:
Brothy
Tomato-y
Loaded with veggies + kale
Hearty from white beans + potatoes
Savory
Soul-warming
Simple
& Highly shareable
