1. Dice onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic and halve the potatoes. Strip the kale from stems and cut into thin slices.

2. Add oil to a large pot on med-high heat, add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5 mins., stirring occasionally.
3. Add potatoes, broth, and white beans to pot, and cook on med-high heat for 10-15 mins., until potatoes are tender, but not mushy.
