Chicken And Kale Soup With White Beans Food

CHICKEN AND KALE SOUP WITH WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• In a large high-sided skillet or Dutch oven, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Add onion and shallot; cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in flour, and continue stirring until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the chicken stock, and add potatoes, parsnips, turnip, bay leaf, and chicken breast. Cover, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Pull meat from bones, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Return chicken meat to skillet, and add kale and oregano. Cook until kale is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add beans to skillet, and cook 10 minutes. Stir in milk; cook just until heated through, about 5 minutes. Do not let soup boil or milk may curdle. Remove from heat, and discard bay leaf. Serve hot.

BEAN SOUP WITH KALE

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat olive oil. Add garlic and onion; saute until soft. Add kale and saute, stirring, until wilted. Add 3 cups of broth, 2 cups of beans, and all of the tomato, herbs, salt and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes. In a blender or food processor, mix the remaining beans and broth until smooth. Stir into soup to thicken. Simmer 15 minutes. Ladle into bowls; sprinkle with chopped parsley.

LEMONY CHICKEN SOUP WITH FARRO, WHITE BEANS, AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium-high. Cook carrots, half of the onion, and 3 sliced garlic cloves, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add chicken carcass, if using, and broth; cover and simmer 30 minutes. (If you're not using carcass, simmer 15 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, toast farro in another large pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown and smells nutty, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tsp. salt and 3 cups water. Cover and simmer until farro is tender and liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes; strain any remaining liquid, if necessary. Set aside 2 cups farro for Dill-Crusted Pork Tenderloin or reserve for another use.
• Strain chicken broth mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard carcass and vegetables. Set aside 2 cups broth for Potato, Leek, and Pea Pot Pie or reserve for another use.
• Wipe out pot, then heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil over low. Cook remaining onion and 9 sliced garlic cloves, stirring occasionally, until tender and light golden, 8-10 minutes. Add remaining broth left in bowl, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Add reserved chicken meat, beans, kale, lemon juice, pepper, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt and farro left in pot; cook until vegetables are cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
• Divide soup among bowls. Stir 1 Tbsp. salsa verde into each bowl, if using, and sprinkle with dill. Serve with baguette slices and lemon wedges alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Soup can be made 2 days ahead. Chill in a resealable container.

KALE AND WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Cut or tear the kale into 1/2-inch strips. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add about half of the beans, and lightly mash with a fork. Add water and stock, and bring to a boil. Stir in kale, remaining beans, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Partially cover, reduce heat, and simmer until kale is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Toast bread. Ladle soup into bowls, top with toast, and drizzle with remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.
