Kale and Cannellini Bean Soup

About the Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings

1 can (278 g) cannellini beans
1 large bunch kale
1 lemon, juiced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
4 c (950 mL) vegetable stock
1 tsp (5 mL) turmeric
1/4 tsp (1.2 mL) dried rosemary
Iodized salt
Ground black pepper

Directions

1. For an Instant Pot, turn on saute mode. Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable stock (or water) to either the Instant Pot or a soup pot on the stove. Once warm, add the onions and garlic and cook until slightly translucent.

   
   
   

2. While the onions are cooking, in a separate bowl, juice the lemon into the kale leaves and massage gently. Set aside.

   
   
   

3. Add the carrots and celery to the onions and cook until slightly soft.

   
   
   

4. Add in the rosemary, turmeric, and black pepper (if using) and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Then, add the beans, massaged kale, and remaining 4 c (950 mL) of stock. Add salt, if using.

   
   
   

5. If using an Instant Pot, turn on the pressure cook mode and cook for 5 minutes. After making sure the steam has released, remove lid. If cooking on the stove, bring the soup to a boil and then turn the heat to low and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.

   
   
   

6. Taste and season as needed and serve with toast.
