Kale and White Bean Soup
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Recipe makes: About 4 servings
What you need:
- 1 tbs. olive oil
- 2 carrots
- 1 small onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 boxes (32 oz. each) unsalted or low-sodium chicken stock (for non-vegetarians) or vegetable stock
- 1-1/2 cups kale, roughly chopped into ½-inch strips
- 2 cups cooked cannellini beans (freshly cooked or low-sodium canned, rinsed and drained)
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
Equipment and Supplies:
- Knife and cutting board
- Large stock (soup) pot
What to do:
- Peel and cut carrots and onion into small pieces. Mince garlic.
