SUMMARY:Make Burst Cherry Tomato Orzotto w/Basil\, Arugula and Cannellini Beans to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Deb to make a Burst Cherry Tomato Orzotto w/Basil and Cannellini Beans  (based on this recipe from the NYT.) \nWe’ve added white beans to this delightful dish to add more protein and make it a one-pot meal!  “Cherry tomatoes are first cooked down with aromatics until they burst and their juices thicken. This concentrated tomato mixture fortifies the broth\, imparting its flavor to the orzo. Stirring every minute or so releases the pasta’s starch\, while a pat of butter makes this dish silky and that much more reminiscent of a saucy risotto. The orzotto is only as good as the tomatoes you use\, so be sure to use the best ones you can get your hands on. Topping each serving with a handful of arugula is a wonderful way to incorporate more greens and add a bit of fresh\, peppery zing.” \nAfter 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 \n\n\nBurst Cherry Tomato Orzotto with Basil\, Arugula and White Beans\nIngredients:  \n\n1/3 cup olive oil \n3 large shallots\, chopped (about a cup)\nSalt \n1 head garlic – grated \n1 tsp crushed red pepper\, to taste\n4 ½pounds cherry tomatoes \n3 cups tightly packed fresh basil leaves\, roughly chopped\, plus 1 sprig \n2 pounds orzo \n4-6 cans (or 1 1/2 lb dry – precooked) cannellini (or other white) beans\n3 quart (12 cups) low-sodium vegetable broth (more as needed)\n2 cups grated Parmesan\, plus more for serving\n3 Tablespoons unsalted butter \n1 lemon\, juiced (more to taste)\nArugula\, optional topping for serving\n\nInstructions\n\nStep 1 – Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the shallots\, some salt and cook\, stirring often\, until the shallot is translucent and fragrant\, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook\, stirring constantly\, until fragrant\, another minute or so more.\n \nStep 2 – Add the tomatoes\, basil sprig and 3 cups water and cover the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and let cook\, covered\, until the tomatoes are very soft and easily burst when pressed with a wooden spoon or spatula\, about 10 minutes.\n \nStep 3 – Use the back of a wooden spoon or spatula to press the tomatoes against the side of the pot until all the tomatoes are broken down. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a steady yet gentle boil.\n \nStep 4 – Cover and continue to cook\, stirring occasionally\, until the tomato liquid has thickened\, slightly deepened in color and reduced by about half\,  10-12 minutes. The mixture will go from very brothy to a tomato soup-like texture.\n \nStep 5 – Stir in the orzo\, broth and some salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook\, stirring every minute or two and making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking\, until the orzo is tender and saucy\, 10-13 minutes more.  Add the beans and stir it around to be well blended.\n \nStep 6 – Remove the pot from the heat and discard the basil sprig. Stir in the Parmesan\, butter\, lemon juice and chopped basil until silky and evenly combined. Season to taste with salt as needed. Serve immediately\, topped with fresh arugula and more Parmesan\, as desired.\n \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.

SUMMARY:Make Lemony White Bean Soup with Greens to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Deb to make a Lemony White Bean Soup with Greens based on this recipe from New York Times. \n“Bright with lemon and herbs\, and packed with hearty greens\, this highly adaptable soup can be either light and brothy or thick and stewlike\, depending on your preference. Smashing some of the beans to release their starch will give you a thicker soup that’s almost worthy of a fork. To keep it on the brothy side\, add a little more liquid and leave the beans intact. Either way\, it’s a warming\, piquant\, one-pot meal.” \nAfter 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 \n\n\n\nLemony White Bean Soup with Greens (optional ground Turkey)\n\n\n\nIngredients\n\n1 1/2 – 2 pounds ground turkey (optional\, leave out for vegan version)\n1/4 cup olive oil\n3 large onions\, diced\n3-4 large carrots\, diced\n2-3 bunches sturdy greens\, such as kale\, broccoli rabe\, mustard greens or collard greens\n3 tablespoons tomato paste\n2 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin\, plus more to taste\n1/3 teaspoon red-pepper flakes\, plus more to taste\n9 garlic cloves\, minced\n3 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger\n1 tablespoon kosher salt\, plus more to taste\n3 quarts chicken stock (or vegetable broth)\n6 (15-ounce) cans white beans\, drained and rinsed\n3 cups chopped fresh\, soft herbs\, such as parsley\, mint\, dill\, basil\, tarragon\, chives or a combination\nFresh lemon juice\, to taste\n\nInstructions\n\n\nHeat a large pot over medium-high for a minute or so to warm it up. Add the oil and heat until it thins out\, about 30 seconds. Add onions and carrots\, and sauté until very soft and brown at the edges\, 7 to 10 minutes.\nMeanwhile\, rinse the greens and pull the leaves off the stems. Tear or chop into bite-size pieces and set aside.\nWhen the onions are golden\, add tomato paste\, cumin and red-pepper flakes to the pot\, and sauté until paste darkens\, about 1 minute. Add garlic\, ginger and salt and sauté.\n(Use of a turkey is optional) Add turkey\, breaking up the meat with your spoon\, until turkey is browned in spots\, 4 to 7 minutes. \nAdd stock and beans\, and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until the soup is thick and flavorful\, adding more salt if needed\, 15 to 25 minutes. If you like a thicker broth\, you can smash some of the beans with the back of the spoon to release their starch. Or leave the beans whole for a brothier soup.\nAdd the greens to the pot and simmer until they are very soft. This will take 5 to 10 minutes for most greens\, but tough collard greens might take 15 minutes. (Add a little water if the broth gets too reduced.)\nStir herbs and lemon juice into the pot\, taste and add more salt\, cumin and lemon until the broth is lively and bright-tasting. Serve topped with a drizzle of olive oil and more red-pepper flakes\, if desired.\n\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.
