Chunky Tuscan Bean and Kale Soup

This can be halved, and still make a pretty decent amount of soup. I prefer a large pot because soup saves so well and makes for an easy reheat. If you are gifting to new parents or neighbors, this soup packages up well alongside a fresh loaf of bread and a nub of parm on the side. The soup is simple and light, so your broth will make a difference. If you are not a strict vegetarian, a chicken stock will offer more flavor than the veg alternative, but either is fine. Enough parmesan cheese can help anything ;)

Leftovers may thicken, so add a splash of water to loosen the soup when you reheat it.
