Step-by-Step Instructions for Cozy White Bean Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, and 1 bay leaf. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in ½ cup of white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits.

  6. Using an immersion blender, puree about one-third of the soup until creamy.
  7. Stir in 2 cups of chopped kale. Allow it to cook for 5-8 minutes.
  8. Remove pot from heat and stir in the juice of 1 lemon.
  9. Taste, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and serve with pecorino cheese on top.
