At this time of the year, I love making hearty chunky soups. I find them very satisfying and nutritious for the whole family.I had a can of White Beans sitting in my kitchen pantry for sometime.White Bean and Escarole Soup came to mind. Asked DH to get me some Escarole from the shops and he came back with Kale instead!
Well I had to use it, so I went ahead with it although I'd never had Kale with White Bean soup before.I added some carrots and sweet peas to balance the bitterness of the Kale.I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be quite aperitive!One of the favorites on my list now.
The Kale does not taste bitter at all and blends beautifully into the rest of the ingredients.The peas and beans add just the right texture and the carrot adds nice color to the soup.Its a perfect weekday or weekend lunch.This one is surely for keeps! —Soni's Food
