Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and add the drained pinto beans. Simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Stir in the chopped kale and apple cider vinegar. Simmer until the kale is wilted, about 5 minutes.
Serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, consider serving with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
