White Bean and Kale Stew
It’s soup season (and bean season, and pie season). Cooler weather means we want cozy foods. This stew is one of them!
It’s stew-ier than a soup, and soupier than a stew. Caramelized onion, poblano, garlic, and anchovy form a slightly spicy, savory base for this quick stew (made even quicker with canned beans). Smoked sausage and kale add heartiness and color, as do carrots. Serve with grated cheese and a lemony-garlicky dressing to make this soup especially cozy on a cold night. This recipe is very flexible - feel free to substitute different types of beans or vegetables. Other greens like collards or chard work well. It could also handle a diced tomato, some mushrooms, or even some crumbled leftover bacon. Use what you have and make it your own. Cheers!
