Had this for lunch and enjoyed it. I didn’t have cannellini beans so used red kidney and later added an extra can for more bulk. I thought I would regret adding the kale when I added the rice but it was fine. This was quick to chop up and then some easy simmering time while I did some other things. Thanks
Seleste Esparza says
Thank you for sharing your recipe. Looking forward to trying it out. I have a question, when adding rice, is it raw or cooked? Thanks for your reply.
Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says
raw not cooked yet when adding it in.
Loz says
Sorry to be this person but is there a recommended alternative to dill? Just can’t stand the flavour! Thanks 🙂
Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says

This soup recipe is amazing! It’s easy, affordable, and delicious (like many of Danielle’s recipes 😋). I’d say the dill is really the star of the show so don’t leave it out! I made my last batch with dino kale which added such depth to the flavor. Enjoy!

Jordan says
Really good! Mine was very soupy, though, whereas yours looks more like a thick stew. I added 8 cups of veggie broth as instructed. Maybe next time I’ll use less?
Jackie Dale says
Made for dinner tonight and it was amazing! The husband even said it was delicious!
Deanna says
The bread looks so good, what kind is it?
Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says
sourdough baguette!
KimM says
I didn’t read the ratings before making this recipe, which is unusual. Found the recipe yesterday and my hubs came home sick last night. I had the ingredients delivered this morning and made the soup for lunch – so good! My zucchini was a little larger, so I added a little extra and did the same for the kale (hate to throw out good veggies!). It was really delicious and I found the dill to be the star here. Thank you!
Rosanne says
