Kale and White Bean Soup
Canned cannellini beans transformed this otherwise long-simmering soup into an easy weeknight meal. The Parmesan rind added a deep savoriness; some grocery stores sell just the rinds, or if you have a chunk of Parmesan in your refrigerator, trim off its rind for use in the soup. If you reheat leftovers, you may need to add to additional broth, as the soup becomes thicker as it stands. Crusty bread is the perfect accompaniment.

Tip
Don’t fear the anchovies even if you are not an anchovy fan. They help build rich, meaty flavor in the soup but don’t leave any trace of fishiness. And don’t simmer the soup for longer than directed; overcooking causes the beans to break down and make the soup overly thick.

Delicious
Its very easy to make and its tasty. I did not put fish in it or cheese (cooking for someone who has diabetes) but it still turned out very good. Thanks for the recipe.

A request
I would love the option of printing (or saving as PDF) all your recipes with the reviews. Now, I have to copy and create a document in order to save the comments. Way too many steps in 2022!

Solid Soup
Perfect for Fall in Michigan. Loved the recipe - however I would have added more beans into the mix (as I prefer a less watery soup) - plus it was a little unclear as to what final shape the fennel should be cut into? Diced small? Long and narrow slices? I followed the recipe and they cooked down well. The best part of the soup? The toasted parmesan crusted bread... the key to making the soup come together, and stick together - perfect mouth feel.
