Recipe type: Soup
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 (15 oz.) cans of white or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed in cold water
  • 4 cups chopped kale
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 hard cheese rinds like Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Cook chopped onion, minced garlic, bay leaves and carrots until the veggies are soft (5-6 minutes), stir occasionally. Season with large pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Add 1 can of beans and the chicken stock. Bring it to a simmer.
  3. Remove the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can blend it in a regular blender or food processor.
  4. Add cheese rinds such as Parmesan into the pot. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Add another can of beans and chopped kale, cook for a few minutes until wilted. Taste to see if it needs more salt and pepper.
  6. Serve with some country bread and sprinkle each serving with some fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
Use vegetable broth and skip cheese if you want to make it vegan.
