u003cbr/u003eFor a heartier soup, consider adding in cooked white beans when you add the orzo pasta. White beans contain 8g of protein and 6g of fiber per half cup, making this a healthy variation. u003cbr/u003eWhile most creamy beans would work well in this soup, I'd recommend a small white bean, like a cannellini bean, navy bean or great northern bean. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you do add in white beans, you can also blend some of the beans with the broth and vegetables in a blender before adding the pasta. This gives more heartiness and body to the kale soup without having to add any dairy.
