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

8 ounces Tuscan kale (lacinato kale), stems and center ribs removed, leaves sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick

KALE WITH CANNELLINI BEANS



Kale With Cannellini Beans image

I found this recipe in Deborah Madison's book Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I used it as part of a meal that i was creating that needed to contain 45 or fewer carbs. My guests, one of whom who does not like kale, loved the mixture of the beans and the kale and really enjoyed this dish. Next time, I might make some croutons to sprinkle on top of it as well to give it a bit of crunch.
