Tomato soup is a classic, but it’s often filled with cream or other rich ingredients. This recipe uses white beans for protein, which makes the soup heartier. You can eat this soup as a side or as an entrée, and you might want to whip it up when you’re craving some veggies, as it’s loaded with carrots, tomatoes, and kale.
