Summary

A no-cook mason-jar soup that transforms into a silky, tomato-cream broth perfumed with Italian herbs, tender butter beans, pastina, and bright kale. Hearty, comforting, and surprisingly complex in just minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Finely chop the carrot, onion, celery, and garlic so the pieces are very small.

  2. 2

    Prepare four 16 oz (pint) mason jars with lids.

  3. 3

    Divide the vegan cream or milk evenly among the four jars, pouring it into the bottom of each jar.

  4. 4

    Evenly divide the chopped carrot, onion, celery, and garlic between the jars (do not add kale yet).

  5. 5

    Divide the tomato paste evenly among the jars (about 1 tablespoon per jar).

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly into each jar.

  7. 7

    Cut each bouillon cube in half and add one half to each jar (total 4 halves).

  8. 8

    Divide the drained and rinsed butter beans evenly among the jars.

  9. 9

    Add 1/4 cup uncooked pastina to each jar (1 cup total).

  10. 10

    Add a few pinches of salt and a few pinches of pepper to each jar.

  11. 11

    Top each jar with 1/2 cup chopped kale.

  12. 12

    Seal the jars and refrigerate until ready to eat (they keep 7–9 days).

  13. 13

    To serve (microwave method): Remove lid, fill the jar with water to the top of the kale, cover loosely with a paper towel, microwave 1 minute, stir, microwave another 1 minute, stir, then microwave 30–60 seconds more, or until the pastina is al dente. Add more water if needed.

  14. 14

    To serve (boiling water method): Remove lid, fill the jar to the top with boiling water, replace lid and let sit 5 minutes. Stir, cover again, and let sit another 3–5 minutes, or until the pastina is al dente; let sit longer if needed.

  15. 15

    Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper if desired.
