If you use white beans for this savory dish, the beet greens will infuse them with a lovely pink hue. Even more standout is the savory/umami flavor that the Parmesan rinds impart. Parmesan rinds will keep for months. Wrap them in foil and keep in the freezer. They add great depth of flavor to vegetarian soups and stews.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Drain the beans and add to the pot, along with 6 cups water (or enough to cover the beans by at least an inch) and the bouquet garni. Bring to a gentle boil, add salt to taste, cover and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the beans are soft and fragrant. Taste, adjust salt, and add pepper. Remove the bouquet garni.
- Stir in the beet greens and simmer 5 to 10 minutes. Serve in wide bowls and pass freshly grated Parmesan for sprinkling.
