In a large pot, heat olive oil. Add garlic and onion and saute until onions are soft and transparent.. Add finely chopped kale and continue to saute, stirring frequently until leaves are wilted.

Pour in 3 cups of broth, 2 cups of beans, tomatoes, herbs, salt and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes. Add remaining beans and broth to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. Stir into soup to thicken. Simmer 15-30 minutes more depending on how soft you like your kale. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
