Vegan Italian Wedding Soup

Step 1

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat and add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until tender and about 5-6 minutes.

Step 2

Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute until lightly browned.

Step 3

Add dried thyme and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Now add the broth, pasta, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Turn heat up to get broth boiling and then turn down to a medium simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes until pasta is al dente.

Step 5

Add the chopped kale and cook for 1-2 minutes to soften. Taste for seasoning and add more if needed. Add meatballs to the bowls and ladle soup on top. See note for serving/topping ideas. Enjoy!
