Ingredients
-
5 cloves garlic, minced
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
1 cup cubed whole-grain rustic bread
-
1 cup chopped leek, white and light green parts only, rinsed well
-
1 cup chopped carrots
-
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
-
3 cups water
-
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 cup ditalini pasta or other small pasta
-
10 ounces zucchini (about 1 medium), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
-
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed
-
3 cups fresh baby kale or chopped kale
-
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook garlic and 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the garlic is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add bread; toss to coat. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Bake until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add leek and carrots; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add broth, water and salt; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and reduce heat to medium-high; cook uncovered, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, about 5 minutes. Stir in beans, kale, peas and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted, about 2 minutes. Ladle the soup evenly into 6 bowls; sprinkle with the croutons.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
