Home Cooking Recipes: Hearty Bean Soup

February 5, 2010

As we like to say in our home, this soup is “nutritious and delicious!”  This is one of the best bean soup recipes.  Tonight, Hayden asked for more of this- twice!

4 cans white beans, drained (navy or cannellini)
1 qt chicken broth
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 onion, chopped
1 bunch carrots, chopped
1 strip bacon
2 tbs olive oil
3/4 tsp salt
1 sprig rosemary
1 bunch kale or collards, chopped
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
parmesan cheese

In large pot, cook carrots, onion, bacon, and olive oil over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes.  Add beans, tomatoes, chicken broth, and rosemary.  Bring to boil and simmer 30 minutes.  Discard rosemary and bacon.  Add chopped greens and salt, simmer another 15 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs.  Serve topped with parmesan cheese.
