Cannellini bean soup is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day or a quick and easy meal. It is made with cannellini beans, which are a type of white bean that is known for its creamy texture and mild flavor. This soup is also typically made with vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions, as well as herbs and spices such as garlic, thyme, and rosemary. It can be served as a main course or as a side dish, and it is a great way to use up leftover beans.

TUSCAN CHARD AND CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP
This is a hearty, wonderful soup that takes a very short time to make. If you have a rind from a piece of Parmiggiano Reggiano, add it to the broth as you cook; if you don't, you may want to add grated Parmesan cheese to the soup. This soup thickens as it stands (due to the pasta and cheese).

Steps:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook the bacon, onion, garlic, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and cannellini beans, and bring the mixture to a boil; stir in sun-dried tomatoes and the piece of Parmesan cheese rind. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook while you prepare the chard, about 10 minutes.
- Cut the stems from the chard, and slice the stems into pieces about 3/4-inch long. Cut the chard leaves into 1-inch wide ribbons. Stir the chard stems and pasta into the soup, setting aside the leaves. Reduce heat to a simmer, and gently simmer until the pasta is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir the chard leaves, sage, and basil into the soup, and simmer just until wilted, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

- Rinse the beans well and place in a large pot. Cover the beans with 4 quarts of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and turn off the heat. Allow to soak for 1 hour.
- Place the olive oil, onions, and garlic in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. When the garlic begins to sizzle, after about 30 seconds, add the carrots and celery and continue to cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes.

Add water if necessary to achieve desired consistency; the soup should be thick. Add the salt halfway through the cooking. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, freshly black ground black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:
- In 8-inch skillet, heat unpeeled garlic over low heat (you are dry-roasting the garlic, so there is no need for oil) 25 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until peel is light brown and clove feels soft inside when you touch it. (Don't rush the process by turning up the heat; garlic may burn and become bitter.) Remove garlic from skillet; set garlic aside.
- In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crisp around edges. Add onion, carrot and celery. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but do not brown. Add finely chopped garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add broth, water, beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, anchovies, the cheese rind, bay leaves and rosemary; heat to boiling. (When you've used a piece of Parmesan cheese, save the rind in the freezer. If you don't have a rind, you may want to sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.) Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Peel cooled, roasted garlic cloves and place in small bowl. Add butter, salt, red pepper and pepper. Use a fork to mash garlic to a smooth paste. Spoon garlic paste into hot soup and stir well to incorporate. Sprinkle with basil and stir well. Remove bay leaves and rosemary sprig.

LEEK AND CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP
This soup is a terrific choice for those over sixty, as it's abundant in nutrients one especially needs later in life. These include healthy plant protein (older adults are prone to protein insufficiency), fiber, vitamin K, potassium, lysine to aid in calcium absorption, and folate to help reduce homocysteine levels, which are a major risk factor for heart disease. And of course, all soups are soft and so are a favorite for anyone with dental difficulties.

Steps:
- Place the beans in a large bowl and pick through them, removing any stones or debris. Cover with cool water and let sit for at least 8 hours, or overnight. Drain. In a Dutch oven, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic. Once it begins to sizzle and become fragrant, add the chili flakes and cook for 30 seconds, then add the parsley and cook for 1 minute. Do not allow anything to brown. Add the onion and celery and stir to combine. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Cut the cheese rinds into small pieces, to maximize the surface area exposed to the cooking liquid, and tie up in a small square of cheesecloth. Add this sachet, the beans, and the water to the pot and bring to a simmer. Skim any foam that comes to the surface and stir in salt to taste. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook the beans until tender, 30 to 45 minutes. (Cooking time will vary, depending upon the age of the beans.) Add the escarole and cook until tender and wilted, 10 minutes. Season the soup with more salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and finish with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and tomatoes.
- Season the soup well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good starting points. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
- Don't overcook the beans: They should be tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings: This will allow your guests to customize their bowls. Some good options include grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and crusty bread.
