Two-Bean Soup with Kale and Cheese Tomato Toast

October 2, 2009 by Monica Nelson 19 Comments

This is simple…and GOOD! I usually have all the of these ingredients on hand which makes cooking much more fun.  Kale is great here, it holds up so well and talk about great for you. You could use any beans you have like Kidney Beans or Garbanzo Beans and you could add some protein like tofu, chicken, sausage. The best part of this dish is the Cheese-Tomato Toast!

Serves 4-6

3 tbs olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped carrot
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 tsp salt divided
3 garlic cloves, minced

2. Place have of the Cannellini beans and remaining 1 cup of the vegetable broth in a food processor; process until smooth. Add pureed bean mixture, remaining cannellini beans, black beans, and pepper to the soup. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins. Stir in remaining 1/4 tsp salt, vinegar, and rosemary.

    Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, fantastic blog!
