You can make different variations of this vegetarian stew by adding your favorite greens or grain. If you’re not a fan of kale you can substitute spinach or swiss chard.

You can also add any type of rice you like. The best options for this soup would be jasmine, basmati, or wild rice. or sub rice altogether for something different like lentils, quinoa, black beans, or chickpeas!

In addition to what I used for toppings, you could also use chopped onions, diced avocado, mint leaves, pine nuts, or pumpkin seeds.
