Ingredients:

1/2 yellow onion diced
3 garlic gloves diced
6 small carrots chopped
3 celery stalks chopped
4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
1 1/2 cups of beans (I used bean soup mix)
1 1/2 cups of fresh kale
2 cups of pasta
1/2 can diced tomatoes
1 quart vegetable stock
2 cups of water
THC-infused Olive oil (or whichever oil you prefer)
Fresh ground salt, to taste
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs, to taste (I used an Italian seasoning mix)
Fresh loaf Sourdough baguette

Instructions:

First, I took a large soup pot and added about 1/2 tablespoon of THC-infused olive oil to heat up. Next, I added the diced onions and garlic and sautéed until soft. This is where you can add any spices you wish. I added some fresh ground pepper, salt and Italian seasoning.

Next, add the potatoes, carrots and celery to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes.

Then, add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth and water. Bring this to a boil, and let simmer for about 35 minutes.

After simmering for around 35 minutes, add the pasta and beans to the mix. Cook for an additional 10 minutes - or until the pasta is cooked all the way through.

After the pasta is cooked, add fresh kale for just a few minutes or until wilted. Add any additional spices needed.

Next, preheat your oven or toaster oven to 500 degrees F. Thinly slice the fresh Sourdough baguette and drizzle a dime sized amount of THC-infused olive oil or whichever oil you prefer.
