One Pot Hearty Tuscan White Bean Stew
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup greens, julienned (works with any hearty green, such as kale, chard or collards)
- 13 ounces Pomi chopped tomatoes (1/2 a box) or other canned chopped tomato.
- 1 medium carrot, diced
- 2 cans white beans (cannellini, navy, etc), drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup stock (we use vegetable, but chicken would work fine for non-vegetarians)
- 1 cup water
- 1 dried arbol chili
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend (we use the one from Penzey's)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Lightly mash half a can of beans in a small bowl.
- In the soup pot, heat the olive oil and then saute the onions and half of the carrots with a pinch of salt. Saute until onions are translucent.
- Add your greens and cook down until soft, 5-10 minutes depending on the type of greens.
- Add tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid is gone.
- Add mashed beans and cook for a few minutes
- Add stock, water, chili, italian seasoning and the rest of the carrots. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Simmer until most of the liquid is gone. I like a thicker consistency, but you can add more water or stock if you want a soupier soup.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add red wine vinegar and simmer for 3 additional minutes. The acid really balances out the flavors. You may want a little more vinegar depending on your tastes!
