Number Of Ingredients 1

1 large bunch young collard greens or 2 small ones, leaves stripped from the hard stems and washed 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 sprig plus 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary, leaves stripped and chopped 1 medium onion, finely diced 1 large carrot, cut into a small dice 1 medium Yukon Gold potato or other waxy potato, cut into a small dice 1 clove garlic, chopped 2 cups cooked baby lima or other white beans (cannellini or Great Northern), plus their broth or 1 (14-ounce) can, drained and rinsed well, plus ½ cup fresh water 2¼ quarts (9 cups) low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock, or water 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Pull the leaves from their stems. Cut the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over a medium-high flame until it starts to ripple. Add the rosemary. Let it sizzle for a moment, then add the onion, carrot, and potato. Mix well.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover and sweat the vegetables for 8-10 minutes or until they are soft and the onion is slightly golden. Stir every so often to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Turn the heat up to medium high. Add the chopped garlic. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until you start to smell its aroma. Add the collard greens and stir-fry until they start to wilt and soften.
  • Add the stock and beans, plus their liquid if home-cooked. The beans and vegetables should be well covered with liquid but not drowned. Add a little extra water if needed. Bring the soup to a boil. Partially cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer, stirring from time to time, for 20-25 minutes or until the greens are very tender.
  • Adjust seasoning, then cook 5 minutes more. Mash some of the beans against the sides of the pan to thicken the soup slightly. Stir in the chopped parsley and remaining rosemary. Cook 1 minute, then turn off the heat. Let the soup sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve drizzled with a little olive oil, if desired.

WHITE BEAN AND COLLARD SOUP



White Bean and Collard Soup image

This is an ideal soup for roasted stock, if you're able to make some. Other beans you can use in this recipe: split peas, black-eyed peas, pinto or any pink bean, or black beans.

Provided by Emily Weinstein

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups any dried white beans, washed, picked over, and soaked if time allows
1 ham bone or 2 or 3 smoked ham hocks
12 cups chicken, beef, or vegetable stock, or water
2 medium onions, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds collard greens or kale, thick stems removed, washed, and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (optional)

Steps:

  • Drain the beans if you soaked them, then put them in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the ham bone, stock and onions. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily and cover partially. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very soft and any meat is falling off the bone, at least 1 hour; add more liquid as necessary so the mixture remains soupy.
  • Turn off the heat; remove the bone from the pot and let cool slightly. Take all the meat off the bone, chop it, and set it aside. Mash or puree the beans, then return them to the pot along with the ham; reheat over medium heat until almost boiling.
  • Add the collards, along with the garlic if you're using it, and cook until the greens are tender, about 10 minutes. Taste, adjust the seasonings, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh collard greens: Fresh collard greens have a more vibrant flavor and are more tender than wilted greens.
  • Wash the collard greens thoroughly: Collard greens can harbor dirt and grit, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before using them.
  • Remove the tough stems from the collard greens: The tough stems can be difficult to chew, so it's best to remove them before cooking.
  • Use a variety of beans: This recipe uses cannellini beans and Great Northern beans, but you can use any type of white beans that you like.
  • Add vegetables to the soup: This recipe uses carrots, celery, and onion, but you can add any vegetables that you like.
  • Season the soup to taste: This recipe uses salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can add any seasonings that you like.
