White Bean and Kale Soup

White Bean and Kale Soup

A simple, healthy, and light yet satisfying soup.  All it has is roasted onions, carrots, celery, white beans, kale, rice, and water - not stock.  Roasting the onions, carrots, and celery gives the soup enough flavor that it doesn't need stock, which helps out with keeping the sodium level down.  The rice makes this soup something that my grandma would adore.

For seasoning, I added salt, black pepper, and chipotle pepper.  I wanted to give it a bit of warmth for the cold weather we've been having.
