KALE & WHITE BEAN STEW
A simple and satisfying vegetarian winter dish. I adapted the recipe from one I found in this month's "Bon Appétit" (February 2009). It's by acclaimed chef Dan Barber, of New York's famous Blue Hill restaurants. Sprinkle soup with some freshly grated Parmesan & serve with crusty bread for a delicious meal. Yum!

Tips:
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your stew. Choose fresh, organic vegetables, and beans, and use a flavorful broth or stock.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their texture and flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 10-15 minutes.
- Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be careful not to over-season, as you can always add more seasoning later, but it's difficult to remove it once it's in.
- Let the Stew Simmer: Simmering the stew for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors to develop and deepen. If you're short on time, you can simmer the stew for a shorter amount of time, but the flavor won't be as rich.
- Serve with Crusty Bread or Rice: Kale, white bean, and potato stew is a hearty and filling meal that can be served with crusty bread or rice. The bread or rice will help to soak up the flavorful broth.
