Kale is matched up here with white beans and chunks of lean pork tenderloin to create a soup that's satisfying and quick to make. Smoked paprika gives the soup a Spanish flair so some warm bread and sliced Manchego cheese would go well on the side.

Time 40m

Yield 10 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons paprika, preferably smoked
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup white wine
4 plum tomatoes, chopped
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 bunch kale, ribs removed, chopped (about 8 cups lightly packed)
1 (15 ounce) can white beans, rinsed (see Tip)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork, sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring once or twice, until no longer pink on the outside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with tongs, leaving juices in the pot.
  • Add onion to the pot and cook, stirring often, until just beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, paprika and crushed red pepper (if using) and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine and tomatoes, increase heat to high and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Add broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add kale and stir just until it wilts. Reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is just tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in beans, the reserved pork and any accumulated juices; simmer until the beans and pork are heated through, about 2 minutes.

WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH KALE



White Bean Soup with Kale image

Pat: Creamy, smoky white beans, simmered with some kind of pork fat, are a Southern staple, especially when served with a wedge of warm cornbread. This white-bean soup is finished with kale, a nourishing green that's packed with vitamins A and C (the leaves are so pretty that Gina uses the green and purple varieties to decorate her party trays). Smoked sausage makes a great addition to this soup, and what we do then is leave out the bacon and add 1/2 pound of sliced smoked sausage instead. (You've heard the expression "an eye for an eye" in Memphis we say "a pig for a pig.")

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound dried white beans, such as Great Northern, cannellini, or navy
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 leeks, white and pale-green parts only, sliced (about 1 cup)
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 strips thick-sliced bacon, chopped
8 cups Chicken Stock (page 28)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
2 cups water
1 pound kale, stems and center ribs discarded, leaves coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large pot. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches, and soak the beans overnight. Drain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, leeks, tomato, carrot, celery, garlic, and bacon, and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 6 minutes. Add the beans, stock, thyme, rosemary, and water, and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low, then cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender, about 50 minutes. Then stir in the kale and simmer until the leaves are tender, about 15 more minutes. Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more if needed
One 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound pork tenderloin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 bunch curly kale
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Heat a large high-sided cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season with the smoked paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. When the oil is shimmering, add the pork and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pork to the prepared baking sheet and roast until it registers 145 to 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set the same skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil if needed and add the peppers and onions. Add a splash of water to deglaze and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard the tough, fibrous ribs from the kale leaves, then roughly chop the kale leaves. Add the kale and use a wooden spoon to carefully fold the hot vegetables over the kale to help it begin to wilt. Continue to cook until the kale is bright green and wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the white beans and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
  • Slice the rested pork on the diagonal and serve with the white bean and kale mixture.
