The holiday season is in full swing. And we’re in the midst of it all. Aren’t we? In between work trips, vacations, airplanes, holiday parties, family gatherings, trays of Christmas cookies and cocktails – my body is craving the good stuff. Like this simple and hearty Tuscan tomato kale soup with white beans. 

This post is sponsored by Lucini Italia. Thanks for supporting the brands that allow me to bring you continued quality content. I value Lucini Italia for their philosophy that great tasting food comes from cared-for land that produces high-quality ingredients. 

This Tuscan tomato kale soup uses Lucini Italia’s Organic Tuscan Marinara as a base. And Lucini Italia uses tomatoes from one organic tomato farm in Tuscany​ along with other simple ingredients like onions, carrots, celery and basil to make a luscious sauce with garden fresh taste.

All of Lucini Italia’s sauces are one-hundred percent organic. No added sugar. And as of this year, are Whole30 approved (if that’s your kind of thing). In addition to organic sauces, Lucini Italia also offers premium extra virgin olive oil that meets the demands of both home cooks and professional chefs.

How to make Tuscan tomato kale soup.

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this tomato kale soup. First, you sauté onion and garlic in olive oil, and then you add in some fresh lemon juice for a touch of acidity. Second, you add in the marinara sauce and water, and simmer gently. 

Last, you add in the (cooked) white beans and kale, and simmer a little bit longer. Then – it’s done. This tomato kale soup is a comfort food that I cannot live without. It’s naturally vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free.

I never would have thought of using marinara as a tomato soup base, but it makes so much sense!
