You're going to love the taste and also the smell of your kitchen after cooking this soup ;-)
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic and saute. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes a deep brownish paste. Do not over cook.
Add the parsley and a little salt and pepper to the soup pot. Add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the canned navy beans and stir well. Add the bean puree and the rest of the water. Stir and bring to a slow boil. Add the kale, spinach or collard greens. Stir well and bring to a slow boil again.
Stir the bread in to the soup and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Oh yum! This recipe sounds so good! Can't wait to make some. Just need a quick trip to the store for the fresh kale.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, this looks wonderful. Will be making is very soon. Thanks for sharing.
I did make this soup and it is indeed very good! I used spinach. It made so much that I froze some of it for another time when I didn't feel like cooking. Thanks!
