Creamy Cannelini Beans and Kale Soup

Discard soaking water from beans and cook with 3 cups fresh water. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises. Add bay leaves, cover and lower heat to simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add 1 tsp. sea salt and continue cooking 30 minutes. In a separate pot, saute onion and garlic in olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add kale and cook until wilted.

Bring all ingredients to a boil, then lower heat to medium and cook 10-12 minutes. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with Herbed Garlic Toast.
