Italian · Serves 2
with Rice & Parmesan
This hearty bowl of soul-warming vegetable soup is chock-full of goodness and packed with creamy cannellini beans, scallions, tomatoes, tender kale, and Italian herbs. Serve over a scoop of aromatic jasmine rice and finish with a sprinkle of scallion greens and nutty Parmesan cheese.
In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Remove and discard any large stems from kale; roughly chop leaves if desired.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, Tuscan Heat Spice, garlic powder, and flour; cook, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant and flour has formed into a paste, 30-60 seconds.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) and stock concentrates. Whisk until mixture is combined and smooth, 1-2 minutes.
Add kale, crushed tomatoes, beans and their liquid, and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is wilted and tender and stew has slightly thickened, 7-9 minutes.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Fluff rice with a fork.
Divide stew and rice between shallow bowls in separate sections. Garnish stew with scallion greens and Parmesan. Serve.
