This cozy soup is far greater than the sum of it’s parts. A rich tomato broth flecked with Italian herbs is a great base for creamy cannellini beans and the slight bitterness of kale. Pasta ( I love shells for this soup, especially when they encompass one of the white beans resulting in the perfect brothy bite) rounds out this soup making it filling and tasty.
