1. Place a large soup pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes. Adjust the temperature if needed to allow the onion to become translucent without browning.

2. Add the garlic and ginger, stir to combine, and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until garlic becomes fragrant (do not brown).

3. Add the broth, canned tomatoes, beans, the seasonings, and the diced jalapeño (reserve the slices for serving). Stir to combine, increase the temperature, cover and bring to a boil; once boiling, immediately reduce to a simmer. Stir and place the lid slightly ajar, allowing steam to escape. Let the soup simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes (until carrot and celery are soft). Add the greens, stir, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

4. Serve with optional toppings and crusty bread and butter.
