SUMMARY:Make Tuscan Bean and Kale Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Alexa to make a Tuscan Bean and Kale Soup (based on recipe from SaltFatAcidHeat by Samin Nosrat). After completing your soup\, freeze and label it for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or anyplace that you prefer\, when convenient. Finally\, report on where you shared your KindSoup and spread the word: Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media with #DoKindWorks and tag us @DoKindWorks. \nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nTuscan Bean and Kale Soup\n\n\n\nIngredients\n\nExtra-virgin olive oil\n3 medium yellow onions\, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)\n6 celery stalks\, diced (about 3 cups)\n9 medium carrots\, (peeled and) diced (3 cups)\n6 bay leaves\nSalt & Freshly ground black pepper\n6 garlic cloves\, thinly sliced\n6 cups crushed canned or fresh tomatoes in their juice\n9 cups cooked beans\, such as cannellini\, corona\,or cranberry\, cooking liquid reserved (from\nabout 3 cup raw; feel free to use canned beans instead!)\n3 ounces freshly grated Parmesan\, rind reserved\n9-12 cups Chicken Stock\, vegetable broth or water\, or more as needed for desired consistency\n6 bunches kale\, thinly sliced\n1 1/2 small head green or Savoy cabbage\, core removed and thinly sliced (about 3 cups sliced\n\nInstructions\n\n\nSet a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.\nWhen the oil shimmers\, add the onion\, celery\, carrots\, and bay leaves.\nSeason generously with salt and pepper.\nReduce the heat to medium and cook\, stirring occasionally\, until the vegetables are tender and just starting to brown\, about 15 minutes.\nDig a little hole in the center of the pot\, then add another tablespoon of olive oil.\nAdd the garlic and let it sizzle gently until it gives off an aroma\, about 30 seconds.\nBefore the garlic has a chance to brown\, add the tomatoes. Stir\, taste\, and add salt as needed. Let the tomatoes simmer until they cook down to a jammy consistency\, about 8 minutes.\nAdd the beans and their cooking liquid\, half the grated Parmesan and its rind and enough stock or water to cover.\nAdd two immoderate splashes of olive oil\, about 1/4 cup.\nStirring occasionally\, bring the soup back to a simmer. Add the kale and cabbage and bring to a simmer again\, adding more stock or water as needed to cover.\nCook until the flavors have come together and the greens are tender\, about 20 minutes more. Taste and adjust for salt.\n\nNotes by Samin Nosrat: I like this soup to be very thick\, but add more liquid if you like a\nlighter soup. Remove the Parmesan rind and bay leaves. Serve with a drizzle of the best olive\noil you have on hand\, and grated Parmesan. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5\ndays. This soup also freezes exceptionally well for up to 2 months. Return the soup to a boil\nbefore using. \nVariations: To make Pasta e Fagioli (Tuscan Pasta and Bean Soup)\, add 3/4 cup ditalini\,\ntubetti\, or other small pasta* shape along with the beans. *Uncooked to thicken soup\nfurther\, or cooked al dente and added later. Stir frequently\,as the starch released by the\npasta is apt to form a crust on the bottom of the pot and burn. Cook until the pasta is\ntender\, about 20 minutes. Thin out with more stock or water as needed to desired\nconsistency. Serve as directed above \n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nHow to Donate Your KindSoup\nSeal containers with a tight lid and freeze.
