Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon tomato paste
14 oz canned diced tomatoes
1 cup canned cannellini beans (or chickpeas or black beans)
1 cup cooked lentils (or ½ cup dried)
4 cups vegetable broth
2 bay leaves
½ cup small pasta (e.g., ditalini or orzo)
1 cup kale, shredded
1 cup baby spinach
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup grated Parmesan or vegan alternative
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and zucchini. Season lightly with salt and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in sweet potato and cook for another minute. Add garlic along with oregano, thyme, and tomato paste. Mix everything well to combine.
Add diced tomatoes along with vegetable broth, beans, lentils, and bay leaves. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce heat. Let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes.
Stir in the small pasta of your choice. If at any point the soup becomes too thick, add more broth or water as needed. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the pasta is tender.
Add shredded kale and baby spinach into the soup. Stir just until wilted—this should take about one minute. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil if desired and garnish with chopped parsley and grated cheese of your choice before serving. Enjoy your delicious Longevity Soup!
