• 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup onions, minced
• 1 cup white or baby bella mushrooms, sliced

Directions

1. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil to a large stock pot over medium heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add onions and heat through until translucent or clear.
2. Add mushrooms and sauté together. Add tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer; add rosemary and stir.
3. Add shredded cabbage or kale leaves to soup. Partially cover the pot and simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until cabbage or kale is tender.
4. Drain and rinse beans, add to soup, and warm through for a few minutes. Taste to see if you need salt and pepper.
