Hearty Vegetable Soup with White Beans & Kale

The weather is getting chilly here! And no, I’m not talking that “low 60’s California cold.”

Miles and I went camping up North last weekend and it was freezing! We wore long underwear and down jackets and snuggled up in our tent with the wind blowing all night. It was awesome! 

This soup is a perfect winter soup to warm you up. It is full of hearty vegetables, roasted garlic and buttery beans. Topped with some fresh parsley to brighten it up, this is a great post-Christmas-week-feasting dinner.
