Splash of olive oil

1 medium can (15-ish oz) crushed tomatoes

1 bunch kale, torn into small pieces

1 tbsp. Thyme

2 oz red Thai curry paste (secret ingredient… shhh don’t tell)

Salt to taste

Directions:

  1. Heat the oil over medium heat in Dutch oven or large soup pot

  2. Saute the onions until soft, 5 min +/-

  3. Add the carrots and celery and saute another 5 minutes +/-

  4. Add the tomatoes, beans, broth and spices. (if using additional veggies add them now), simmer 30 minutes or until you get the desired thickness

Notes:

  • Experiment with different veggies 

  • Serve over quinoa for extra nutrition, protein and goodness

  • Place whole batch in the fridge overnight so the flavors mingle 

  • Freeze in individual containers for easy prep
