Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: This White Bean Rosemary Soup with Kale is easy to make and low in fat. It features hearty white beans swimming in a lightly creamy rosemary flavored broth with kale.
- Rosemary: This soup is for rosemary lovers. If you are not a fan of rosemary, then consider skipping this recipe. We used rosemary powder. Feel free to use crushed rosemary or fresh rosemary (one sprig).
- Greens: Greens such as spinach and kale are natural spice/herb neutralizers. A soup/stew can taste perfectly seasoned before adding the greens, then once the greens are added, the flavor mellows requiring more seasoning.
- Low-Fat Dish Expectations: This dish was designed to be low in fat. Because it is low in fat, you are not going to experience that endorphin rush associated with eating high-fat foods when eating this dish. It is very tasty for what it is, and that is a low-fat dish. We just want to make sure that our Readers recognize this when contemplating making this recipe. If you wish to make it more indulgent, add the Vegan Parmesan Cheese on individual servings. The vegan parmesan cheese totally takes it over the top.
- Overnight Flavor: As with a lot of soups, this soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors intensify overnight in the fridge.
- Cannellini Beans: We used cannellini beans, feel free to use your favorite white bean in this soup.
- Soup Broth Texture: The broth in this soup is not thick. If you want a thicker broth, do not drain or rinse the cans of beans, simply place them fully in the soup. You may need to add some additional seasonings.
- Table Salt: If using table salt, you should use less table salt than the amount listed in the ingredients as sea salt crystals are larger than table salt crystals. Since table salt crystals are very fine, less table salt is required to season a dish. We would suggest starting with about 1/4 to 1/2 the amount of sea salt listed. You can always add more salt but cannot take it away. We recommend using sea salt as it is less refined than table salt.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep 5 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
This soup can be frozen.
Pantry Products:
- Vegetable Stock: We use Pacific Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Stock. We love this brand because it is Whole Food Plant Based compliant, as it does not contain MSG, has no oil, and does not contain any highly-processed ingredients.
- Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
Kitchen Equipment Used:
- Large stock pot
