Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c great northern beans, dry, soaked over night
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp fresh ground pepper
  • 1 lb tomatoes, diced

  • olive oil or balsamic vinegar, for serving (if desired)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Add salt and pepper, and sauté 7-10 minutes until soft.
  2. Add diced tomatoes (with any juice), soaked and drained beans and vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered 20-30 min, until the beans are tender.
  3. Mix in the chopped greens. Cover and simmer 5-10 minutes, until the greens have wilted.
  4. While the soup is finishing up, toast the French bread slices under your broiler for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove bread slices and, once cool, cut into cubes.
  5. Scatter the toasted bread cubes over top of the soup before serving.
  6. Serve soup with a splash of olive oil or balsamic vinegar, if desired.
  7. Refrigerate any leftovers with the leftover bread. When you are ready to enjoy the soup for a second time, heat it slowly over medium low heat. The bread will break down and thicken the soup to a hearty stew.
