What You’ll Need For White Bean Kale Potato Soup
- White Beans: You can use your preferred type of beans, but we adore cannellini beans for this soup!
- One of our favorite hearty greens to add to soup is kale! Whichever kind of kale you prefer—curly or dinosaur—use it. This soup is delicious with both. You may also substitute some spinach for it!
- The essential components of every soup are the aromatics and fat: olive oil, carrots, onions, celery, and garlic!
- Yukon Gold potatoes are our favorite for this soup because of their somewhat sweet and buttery flavor and ability to maintain their texture. In addition, I adore the color they provide this soup. Naturally, though, you are free to use anything you have!
- Diced Tomatoes: They provide the savory broth just the appropriate amount of acidity.
- Parmesan Cheese and Rind: A dash of cheese at the end of the soup gives it the ideal, somewhat nutty, salty finish. The rind of the Parmesan cheese wedge is particularly important for adding some rich, delicious umami to this soup!
- Bay leaves, parsley, salt, and pepper are used to add the perfect amount of flavor.

Recipe Tips
Don’t omit the vegetable sautéing step.
While cooking the onions, celery, and carrots may seem like a laborious process, I assure you that it’s an essential step in enhancing the overall flavor of the soup.
Evenly dice
It is important to chop the potatoes and other vegetables equally so that you have equal cooking times for them. First, chop the carrots, onion, and celery.
After bringing to a boil, simmer
After bringing the mixture to a boil, it’s crucial to lower the heat to a simmer and allow the potatoes to cook until they are soft. You run the danger of overcooking your vegetables if you keep it boiling.
Avoid chopping potatoes too big.
The key is smaller and even. They will take longer to cook if they are too big.
Always include the Parmesan rind!
This is a crucial step in giving the kale potato soup depth and umami taste! Since you don’t want to miss it, make sure the Parmesan cheese you purchase has a rind (some varieties at the grocery store don’t).

Notes
- Refrigerate: For up to four days, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Freezer: Keep for up to four months in a freezer-safe container.

- Diced Tomatoes: Dice some Roma tomatoes or use canned tomatoes. For the 28 oz, around 3 1/2 cups of chopped tomatoes in total.
- Hold: Does it not have to be vegetarian? Then, chicken stock will also function nicely!
- Kale = Use another robust leafy green, such as spinach, but only add it for the final five minutes of cooking.
- Chop your potatoes and vegetables to the same size so that everything cooks at the same pace.
