Kale & White Bean Soup with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

This is a simple, deeply savory, plant-based soup built around pantry staples and a handful of kale. Instead of relying on a long-simmered stock, tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes are cooked into a concentrated base that gives the soup richness and depth. White beans thicken the broth with a quick blend, and kale is added at the end so it stays vibrant and fresh.
