In a large pot, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the potato and bell pepper and cook for 5 more minutes.
Next, add the broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beans and seasonings. Cook for 10 more minutes.
Lastly, add the corn and kale, reduce heat to low-medium and let simmer for 10 additional minutes.
Serve with the toppings and enjoy! Tip: this also tastes great with a slice of sourdough, pumpernickel, or gluten-free bread.
