1 can Trader Joe’s Cannellini beans 2 bunches dinosaur kale, stems removed, roughly chopped couple carrots roughly chopped onion (I like red) (or 2-3 shallots) chopped 6-cups chicken (or veg) broth (I use organic) about 0.125lb to 0.25lb parmesan rind hot pepper flakes to taste about 3-T EVOO dry white wine to taste Sauté onion in EVOO to sweat (’till tender) on med-high heat Add carrot, saute about 2-min Add wine, reduce to what you think smells good Add hot pepper flakes (yum!) Add parmesan rind Add broth (careful! it splashes), bring to vigorous simmer, let carrots get a bit more cooked Add kale, cook to comfort (I like my kale to be a bit limp, but not soggy) Serve with shredded or flaked parmesan, salt, pepper. You may want to tell your friends not to suck in (i.e., sip while inhaling) the soup, but to actually put the spoon into their mouths as sipping any soup containing hot pepper flakes (e.g., Thai soups) will cause a bit of a coughing fit.
