Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir well for about 1 minute to evenly coat the vegetables.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and let cook for 2 more minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the cannellini beans, kale, day-old bread, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to help break down the bread and thicken the soup.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan (if using) and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Serve hot and enjoy!
