Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Cold And Rainy Theme and Kidney Bean and Roasted Kale soup

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  The theme is 'Cold and Rainy' and here is my ACEO (2  1/2" x 3 1/2").  

Kidney Bean and roasted Kale soup

For the Dinner Date, I made this kidney bean and roasted kale soup.  I wanted to use up some leftover roasted kale chips.

2-3 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 onion chopped
1 tomato chopped
2 14oz cans kidney beans (use whatever beans you have even one large can)
Bunch of roasted kale leaves 
1 can vegetable soup
3 cans water
Salt as and if required (the canned soup and the kale chips had enough salt)
1/2tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried oregano (I used the leaves removed from fresh sprigs)
1 tsp dried parsley

In olive oil, saute onion, add garlic, add tomato, oregano, parsley
Then add beans, soup, water, kale
Salt to taste if required

Simmer 20 mins
