American
White Bean and Kale Soup
White Bean and Kale Soup is American home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre, the protein alongside, and the soup. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 3 15 oz cans canned cannellini beans
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 5 garlic cloves
- 14 oz diced tomatoes
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 6 cups kale
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium and cook the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until soft, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds.
- Add the drained beans, diced tomatoes, broth, and bay leaf and bring to a boil.
- Mash some of the beans against the pot to thicken, then simmer 15 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped kale and cook until wilted and tender, about 8 minutes, then season with the salt.
- Discard the bay leaf and serve with a drizzle of olive oil.

When to cook it
