Despite it now being spring, I've been really into soup lately, and this spicy white bean zuppa Toscana is top of the list.

It's loaded with potatoes, cannellini beans, and kale, with a base of chicken broth and cream. While it's creamy, it also has this lovely light element, which I think enables it to easily be eaten year-round. ALSO, who doesn't love a little kick in their soups? This one has the perfect amount.

I kid you not, I brought this to work for lunch for a week straight in a mason jar and that was my little moment of happiness for the day. We all need a moment like that at least once a day, and if this soup can provide it for you, well, then I have succeeded.

Dig in!
