Name: Tuscan-Style Bean and Veggie Soup
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 480 min
Yield: 8
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 8 cups low-sodium chicken broth; 2 cups diced onion; 2 cups sliced carrot; 2 tbsp minced garlic; 1 tsp dried thyme; 1 dried bay leaf; 1 (16 oz) pkg Great Northern beans; 1 (14 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes; 3 cups chopped fresh kale; 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

For a heartier stew, try adding a couple of handfuls of day-old bread cubes to the slow cooker. They'll break down as the beans cook and thicken the broth.
