tried this recipe from Sundays at Moosewood. it was a very good and

filling. it was a good way to try out " green " stuff : )...next time I

might add more kale since it cooked down quite a bit : )...

 

1/2 lb kale (~4 c. chopped)

 

4 lg garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

6 c. cooked cannellini or cranberry beans

4-5 c. bean water, vegetable stock, or water

2 heaping tbsp tomato paste

6 fresh sage leaves (1/2 tsp dried)

1 tsp salt

fresh black pepper

 

1/2 c. finely ground cornmeal, opt

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste

fresh Parmesan cheese

 

remove stems from kale and coarsely chop the leaves. soak leaves in

bowl of cold water while you prepare the soup.

in soup pot saute garlic in olive oil for just half a minute. add

about half beans to pot and part of stock to pot. puree rest of beans

and stock in food processor along with tomato paste and sage. stir

into soup. add salt/pepper to taste.

drain kale. mix into soup and simmer at least 30 minutes, till tender.

mix cornmeal with lemon juice and enough water to make one cup. pour

this paste into simmering soup slowly, while stirring constantly to

prevent lumps from forming. simmer soup another 10-15 minutes,

stirring occasionally. use a heat diffuser if necesary to prevent

scorching. adjust seasonings and serve with fresh Parmesan.
