  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat, add onions, carrots, and celery and brown for 5 minutes.  Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.  To the pot add chicken and cook until all sides are browned, about 5 minutes.  Add chicken broth, tomato puree,oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, basil, salt and black pepper.  Scraping up any browned bits off the bottom of the pan.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.  Add pasta and cook an additional 10 minutes.  Add kale and stir to wilt and cook 5 minutes more.
  • Ladle hot soup into bowls and garish with shaved Parmesan cheese.
Florentine soups typically call for spinach and heavy cream; this version is dairy-free and has heart-healthy kale.  Tomato Puree with Sweet Basil layers in fresh flavor while adding a bit of thickness to make this soup both comforting and satisfying. It's like the Italian version of chicken and noodle soup and your going to love it.
