13 BEAN SOUP RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the escarole and saute until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt. Add the chicken broth, beans, and Parmesan cheese. Cover and simmer until the beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Drizzle 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil over each. Serve with crusty bread.

Steps:

• In a pot, combine the first six ingredients; simmer for 10 minutes.
• Add half a can of beans, salt and cumin; cook for 5 minutes.
• Puree soup (I use an immersion blender which makes it easy to do it right in the pot).
• Add the rest of the beans to the soup.
• Combine the cornstarch with 1 1/2 tablespoons of water.
• Add the lemon and the cornstarch to the soup; cook until thickened.
