TUSCAN CHARD AND CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP



Tuscan Chard and Cannellini Bean Soup image

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).

CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP



Cannellini Bean Soup image

We eat a lot of bean based soups in this house and I am always looking for another one to try. Cannellini beans are some of my favorites so I had to grab this recipe when I saw it in the Winter 2008 copy of the BBC Easy Cook magazine. The recipe states that it is suitable for freezing.

Provided by Sarah_Jayne

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 shallots, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
2 leeks, finely chopped
5 ounces bacon, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
47 ounces chicken stock (can use vegetable stock too)
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Fry the shallots, garlic, carrot, celery, leeks and bacon in the oil for 7 minutes, until softened but not brown.
  • Pour in the stock and add the bay leaves and oregano.
  • Season and bring to the boil, cover the pan and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Tip in the beans, re-cover and simmer for a further 5 minutes.
  • Swirl the chopped parsley into the soup.
  • Serve sprinkled with a little extra parsley.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the soup will be. Look for fresh vegetables, high-quality canned tomatoes, and flavorful broth.
  • Brown the meat before adding it to the soup: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and give the soup a richer color.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the soup. A variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and zucchini, is best.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's essential to use a good one. A homemade broth is always best, but a good-quality store-bought broth will also work.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of red wine or vinegar to brighten the flavor.
  • Let the soup simmer for a while: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.

Conclusion:

Italian veal and cannellini bean soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your taste.
