Provided by Dave Lieberman

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bruschetta
6 to 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, plus 1 or 2 more whole cloves
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 quarts chicken stock, water, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch kale, large ribs removed, chopped
1 baguette

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pot. Add garlic and oregano and cook no more than a minute. Add tomato paste and vinegar, and cook another minute. Add beans and stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add kale and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour. Season, to taste, again with salt and pepper before serving.
  • Slice baguette on a heavy angle to create long slices. Toast in a toaster or in the conventional oven. Rub once or twice with half a garlic clove. Season a shallow plate of extra-virgin olive oil with salt and dip each side of bread into the oil. Serve as accompaniment to the soup.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings, such as a baguette or ciabatta.
  • Slice the Bread Properly: Cut the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal for a more appealing presentation.
  • Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the bread slices with olive oil to help them crisp up and add flavor.
  • Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices in the oven or on a grill until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Add Toppings: Be creative with your toppings! Some popular options include garlic butter, herbs, cheese, vegetables, and meats.
  • Serve Immediately: Crostini are best served immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.
