White Bean and Kale Soup


1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic pressed
1tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1/2 tbsp salt
1/4 cup ground pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
3 carrots chopped
1 tomato chopped
2 cans white beans
4 handfuls of kale (tear up into small pieces before adding)
1 can tomato juice
4 cups water/vegetable broth

Sauté onions until soft. Add all ingredients together basically in the order listed above. Cook 1-2 hour until desired consistency. 

*for this soup I tried not using any oil to sauté the onions (just water) or at any point and it turned out just fine.
