Cook’s Notes If you’re having more than 8 guests, double the ingredients. But don’t aim for too many leftovers: We don’t recommend freezing white-bean soup because the texture breaks down after a while. (Although an extra bowl or 2 will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.)

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 pound pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 cup) 1/2 small red onion, diced 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 dried chile, crumbled 3/4 teaspoon fennel seed 1 pound dried cannellini beans, soaked overnight and drained 9 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock 1 large bunch cavolo nero (Tuscan kale), cleaned, stemmed, and roughly chopped (8 cups) Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 1 loaf Tuscan bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices, brushed with olive oil and toasted in a 300-degree oven 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved 1/2 small red onion, diced Extra-virgin olive oil Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

In a medium Dutch oven or a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, chile, and fennel seed, and cook for 2 minutes.

Add cannellini beans and chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 50 minutes, or until beans are tender.

Add Tuscan kale. Stir and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, until kale is tender.

Serve in a bowl over a slice of bread. Garnish with pancetta, tomatoes, onion, olive oil, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and crushed red pepper flakes.
