TOMATO AND CANNELLINI BEAN SOUP



Tomato and Cannellini Bean Soup image

"Vegetable soup is something I can eat a ton of and still feel healthy. The problem is, I get hungry again two hours later. So I came up with a version with beans, which deliver protein and texture, tiding me over to the next meal." -Rick Martinez, associate food editor, digital

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Beans:
1 cup dried cannellini or other small white beans, soaked overnight
1 onion, quartered through root end
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt
Soup:
4 Tbsp. olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 (28-ounce can) whole peeled tomatoes, drained
1/2 teaspoon (or more) crushed red Pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 onion, chopped
1 fennel bulb, cored, chopped
4 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Sherry vinegar
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed, leaves torn into pieces
Chopped unsalted, roasted almonds (for serving)

Steps:

  • Beans Combine beans, onion, garlic, and bay leaves in a large pot and add cold water to cover by 2". Bring to a simmer over medium heat, add several pinches of salt, and reduce heat to low. Continue to cook at a bare simmer until beans are creamy but still hold their shape, 35-45 minutes. Let beans cool in cooking liquid; discard bay leaves.
  • Do ahead
  • Beans can be cooked 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Soup:
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high. Add tomatoes, 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and cook tomatoes, undisturbed, until caramelized and borderline blackened on one side, about 5 minutes. Break up tomatoes, scraping bottom of pot, and continue to cook, scraping and stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are caramelized all over, about 5 minutes more. Transfer tomatoes to a plate.
  • Heat another 2 Tbsp. oil in same pot over medium. Add onion, fennel, garlic, and a pinch or so of red pepper flakes, if desired; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are soft and starting to brown around edges, 8-10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and tomatoes, scraping up browned bits. Drain beans and add to pot along with broth (for a thicker soup, use half of the broth plus 2 cups bean-cooking liquid). Bring to a simmer; season with salt. Cook until flavors meld, 30-45 minutes.
  • Just before serving, stir in chard and cook until wilted. Ladle soup into bowls, top with almonds, and drizzle with oil.
  • Do ahead
  • Soup (without chard) can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

Time 1h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 slices pancetta or bacon, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 medium carrot, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 medium stalk celery, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 quarts chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, drained
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 good-quality anchovy fillets (packed in oil or salt, bone removed if necessary), finely chopped
1 piece (2 inches) Parmesan cheese rind
2 dried bay leaves
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Dash of freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces

Steps:

  • In 8-inch skillet, heat unpeeled garlic over low heat (you are dry-roasting the garlic, so there is no need for oil) 25 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until peel is light brown and clove feels soft inside when you touch it. (Don't rush the process by turning up the heat; garlic may burn and become bitter.) Remove garlic from skillet; set garlic aside.
  • In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crisp around edges. Add onion, carrot and celery. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but do not brown. Add finely chopped garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add broth, water, beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, anchovies, the cheese rind, bay leaves and rosemary; heat to boiling. (When you've used a piece of Parmesan cheese, save the rind in the freezer. If you don't have a rind, you may want to sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.) Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Peel cooled, roasted garlic cloves and place in small bowl. Add butter, salt, red pepper and pepper. Use a fork to mash garlic to a smooth paste. Spoon garlic paste into hot soup and stir well to incorporate. Sprinkle with basil and stir well. Remove bay leaves and rosemary sprig.
