This hearty, rustic soup is made with simple ingredients like kale and buttery white beans, cooked in a smoked paprika broth. Smoked paprika is amazing for adding a deep smoky flavour to your dishes. It adds heat but isn’t spicy. This soup hits the spot on chilly fall days when you’re cozied up on the couch with a blanket.
