EASY SUPER-GREENS SOUP
Reset your diet with this soothing soup chock-full of superfoods. You can put this recipe together using the veggies in the bottom of your crisper drawer-pull out those carrots and that neglected bunch of celery-add in onion, and for protein, a can of hearty white beans. Then, the star of the show: a powerful punch of hearty, nutritious greens like kale, chard or spinach. All are easy to find, already washed and ready to go, in your grocer's produce section. These simple ingredients cook up into a soup that's much more than the sum of its parts and is still low-cal enough that you can round it out with crusty bread and cheese on the side.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Line rimmed baking pan with foil.
- In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat. Cook onions, carrot and celery in oil 9 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are just tender. Stir in garlic, salt, dried herbs and pepper; cook about 1 minute or until garlic is fragrant. Add beans and broth. Increase heat to high; heat to simmering. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in baby greens; simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until greens are tender.
- Meanwhile, place baguette slices on pan; brush with remaining 4 teaspoons oil. Bake 8 to 9 minutes or until crispy and lightly browned.
- To serve, divide soup among bowls; top with Parmesan cheese, and serve with baguette.
