Is there anything cozier than a hearty bowl of soup? We think not, which is why our chefs created this soul-warming Italian-inspired meal. Tender white beans simmer with earthy mushrooms, silky kale, and lots of garlic, plus tender, springy fun-to-eat pearl pasta in a rich veggie broth. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle generously with our Italian cheese blend for a meltingly delicious topper, then finish with as many spicy red pepper flakes as you’d like.

• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).
