CHICKPEA AND KALE SOUP
Steps:
- Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with plenty of water. Let soak for 8 hours or overnight; drain. Wrap the carrot, celery, onion, 3 garlic cloves, the lemon peel, and rosemary in a large square of cheesecloth and secure with kitchen twine or a tight knot. In a large pot, combine the sachet of vegetables, the chickpeas, salt, water, and 1 cup of the olive oil. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chickpeas are tender, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, finely chop the remaining 8 garlic cloves. In a small skillet, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and chili flakes and cook until the garlic is fragrant but not golden, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Remove the center ribs from the kale and coarsely chop the leaves (you should have about 16 cups). In a large skillet, heat the remaining 7 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the kale in batches and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. When the chickpeas are cooked, combine the kale, garlic oil, 2 cups of the chickpeas, and 1 cup of the cooking liquid in a food processor and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the pot and cook over medium-high heat until hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls. Finish with a squeeze of lemon, some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Tips:
- For a creamy texture, blend a portion of the soup before returning it to the pot.
- Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream to each bowl for extra richness.
- Spice up the soup with a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Enhance the flavor with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.
- For a heartier soup, add cooked rice, pasta, or quinoa.
- Make the soup ahead of time and let it simmer on low heat for several hours for deeper flavor.
