Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • several cloves garlic minced
  • good handful of fresh sage or rosemary chopped
  • several large stalks of cavolo nero chopped or use kale

  • 1 can cannellini beans
  • 2 Tbsp tomato puree
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • pinch of red pepper flake
  • 6 cups vegetable stock or water
  • 2 slices day old Italian bread

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium high heat.  Saute the carrots, celery and onion for a few minutes.  Add garlic and herbs.  Cook for a minute or two longer.  Add the greens, the tomato puree, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes and 6 cups of water or vegetable stock.    Cook for 20-30 minutes and adjust seasoning to taste.  Tear bread and add to soup, stir for a few minutes until it is absorbed.  Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and enjoy.
  • Recipe Notes: I like to puree the soup with an immersion blender before adding the bread, but I leave it up to you.
