Instructions
Before you start: Prep and chop ingredients.
To a large pot (we use a dutch oven) over medium-high heat add oil and heat for 1 minute. Add in white onion, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for 5-6 minutes.
Add chili paste and cook for an additional minute.
Add vegetable stock and san marzano tomatoes. Cook partially covered for about 10 minutes. Using a wooden spoon break up the san marzano tomatoes in your pot. If you want it to be smooth, use an immersion blender.
Add in beans, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Finally add in the kale and cook until just wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve and garnish with chili flakes and fresh parsley. Serve with a sliced of toasted bread and enjoy!
