    I will be making this soup it sounds simple and delicious, I may be substituting spinach for the kale as that is what I have on hand right now, I will definitely update you when I prepare this soup 😊

  3. Denette says:

    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. Thanks5 stars

  4. 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.

    1. Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says:

      raw not cooked yet when adding it in.

    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!5 stars

  11. 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?
