Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 Italian chicken sausages (about 12 ounces total), sliced on the bias 1/4-inch thick
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One large Parmesan rind (about 2 1/2 ounces) plus freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
Two 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed well
1 large lemon (about 6 ounces), half juiced (about 2 tablespoons) and half cut into wedges
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces chopped kale (about 8 cups)
1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, lightly packed, roughly chopped
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven between medium and medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil; once the oil is shimmering, add half the chicken sausage and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Use tongs to flip the sausage pieces and cook until lightly browned on the second side, about 2 minutes. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the browned sausage to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and chicken sausage, but do not remove the second batch of sausage from the Dutch oven.
  • Add back the first batch of sausage along with the chicken broth, Parmesan rind, cannellini beans, lemon juice, a large pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom. Reduce to a strong simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Stir in the kale and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove and discard the Parmesan rind. Season the soup with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, then sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan. Serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread.

CANNELLINI AND KALE SOUP



Cannellini and Kale Soup image

Thyme, garlic, and a bay leaf are simmered in water to create a flavorful broth that's low in calories. Frying garlic creates crunchy chips and a tasty oil to drizzle on top. Pureed cannellini beans give this soup a velvety texture, canceling out the need for heavy cream.

Time 12h

Yield Makes 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced, plus 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Scant 1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
12 ounces cannellini beans (2 cups), picked through and soaked overnight
6 cups water
1 dried bay leaf
8 ounces Tuscan kale (lacinato kale), stems and center ribs removed, leaves sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium Dutch oven or a large pot over medium heat. Cook onions and carrot until just softened, about 5 minutes. Season with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir in minced garlic, thyme, and red-pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Drain and rinse cannellini beans. Add to Dutch oven with water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Discard bay leaf.
  • Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth, transferring it to a clean pot as you work. (For safety, remove cap from hole in lid, and cover with a dish towel to prevent spattering.)
  • Bring soup to a simmer. Stir in kale and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until kale is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sliced garlic, stirring often, until crisp and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer garlic to a plate using a slotted spoon. Reserve garlic oil.
  • Divide soup among 6 bowls. Garnish with garlic chips, and drizzle with garlic oil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for kale that is dark green and crisp, cannellini beans that are plump and white, and chicken sausage that is flavorful and juicy.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own liking. Try adding different vegetables, herbs, or spices. You could also use a different type of sausage, such as Italian sausage or chorizo.
  • Make sure to cook the soup until the kale is tender: This will take about 15 minutes. If you cook the kale for too long, it will become mushy.
  • Serve the soup with a crusty bread or roll: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

This kale, cannellini bean, and chicken sausage soup is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or sausage. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this soup is a great choice for busy weeknights.
