1-15ozcan of navy beans OR 1-1/2-2 cups of cooked dried beans
Instructions
Chop onion, celery, and carrots
Over low heat start cooking chopped onions. Add celery, and carrots cook until veggies are tender, about 5-8 min.
Chop all remaining vegetables while onion mix cooks.
To the pot add in the vegetable broth. Stir in chopped potato, broccoli, and kale. Add 1 small can of tomato paste. Stir in the oregano, basil, garlic powder, pepper, and parsley.

Add canned or cooked dry beans, stir and serve.
This makes a LOT of soup because I love to have leftover soup for lunch during the week and it freezes well. I usually freeze a few cups of soup so I can pull out soup any time.
