PORK WHITE BEAN AND KALE SOUP FROM EATING WELL
Kale is matched up here with white beans and chunks of lean pork tenderloin to create a soup that's satisfying and quick to make. Smoked paprika gives the soup a Spanish flair so some warm bread and sliced Manchego cheese would go well on the side.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork, sprinkle with salt and cook, stirring once or twice, until no longer pink on the outside, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate with tongs, leaving juices in the pot.
- Add onion to the pot and cook, stirring often, until just beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, paprika and crushed red pepper (if using) and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine and tomatoes, increase heat to high and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Add broth and bring to a boil.
- Add kale and stir just until it wilts. Reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is just tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in beans, the reserved pork and any accumulated juices; simmer until the beans and pork are heated through, about 2 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Heat a large high-sided cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season with the smoked paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. When the oil is shimmering, add the pork and sear on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pork to the prepared baking sheet and roast until it registers 145 to 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set the same skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil if needed and add the peppers and onions. Add a splash of water to deglaze and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard the tough, fibrous ribs from the kale leaves, then roughly chop the kale leaves. Add the kale and use a wooden spoon to carefully fold the hot vegetables over the kale to help it begin to wilt. Continue to cook until the kale is bright green and wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the white beans and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
- Slice the rested pork on the diagonal and serve with the white bean and kale mixture.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a heavy soup pot and add bacon until it's crisp, not burned. Remove bacon with slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add onion, carrot and celery to pot and cook over medium heat to soften, not brown about 5 minutes or more. Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, ground pepper and stir for about a minute until garlic is fragrant.
- Add potato, cabbage, beans and pork, stir and cook for a minute or two and then add water -I add a lot but if you want it to be more stewy than soupy, don't add as much.
- Turn heat to high and bring to boil, turn down to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until your vegetables are cooked. Take off heat and add salt 1/4 teaspoon at a time, stirring after adding and tasting until it's seasoned.
Tips:
- Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and economical than canned beans, and they're easy to cook in a slow cooker. Just be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Don't overcook the kale: Kale is a hearty green that can withstand a bit of cooking, but it's best to add it to the soup towards the end of the cooking time so that it doesn't become too soft.
- Add some spice: A little bit of spice can go a long way in this soup. Try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of cumin.
- Serve with crusty bread or cornbread: This soup is perfect for a cold day, and it's even better when served with a side of crusty bread or cornbread.
Conclusion:
This pork, white bean, and kale soup is a hearty and flavorful dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make, and it's even better the next day. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
