1 tsp Oregano, dried
1/4 tsp Crushed red pepper
1 medium Zucchini (trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 can(s) (14oz) Diced tomatoes, canned

6 cup Chicken broth (stock), low sodium
30 gm Parmesan cheese, shredded (Use the rind of a 1 lb chunk of cheese (optional))

1 1/2 cup Kale (thinly sliced and thick stems removed)

Instructions


In a pot over medium, heat the olive oil and add the onion and leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, garlic and oregano, and cook until the vegetables are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes more.

Add the zucchini and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their liquid and the tomato paste, bring to a boil and cook 3 minutes.

Add the broth, bay leaf and the Parmesan rind. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the flavours are blended, about 1 hour.

Stir in the beans and kale and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the rind and serve in soup bowls.
