This veggie-packed kale, white bean and pasta soup is hearty and flavorful. Mashing beans into the soup gives it body and creaminess without actual cream. Serve this delicious vegetarian soup with a piece of crusty whole-grain bread on the side.
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium leek, thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, scrubbed and chopped
2 medium stalks celery, chopped
2 medium parsnips, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish
1 large bunch curly kale, stemmed and roughly chopped
8 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth or no-chicken broth
12 ounces whole-wheat farfalle pasta or elbow macaroni
2 (14-ounce) cans no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed, divided
