Ingredients

For the soup:

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 medium celery stalks diced
  • 2 medium zucchini or summer squash diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced or finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 14-ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 14-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 4 cups chopped Tuscan kale also called lacinato or dinosaur kale
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher or fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:

  • 1 5-ounce package baby arugula
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or more to taste
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese shavings
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or more to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Stir for 1 minute. Add the beans, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the kale, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • While the soup simmers, toss the arugula with the olive oil, lemon juice, cheese, and pepper. Add more oil, lemon juice, or pepper, if desired.
  • Transfer about 2 cups of the soup to a blender and puree. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Add back to the soup pot. Stir in the vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve bowls of soup with the salad on the side.
