Ingredients Amount Measure Ingredient 6 cups Cannellini beans, canned, rinsed and drained 4 cups (8 fl oz) water 12 cups chicken broth, low sodium, canned 5 cloves garlic minced 5 1/2 teaspoons sage 2 leaves bay leaf 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup olive oil 2 large Onion, chopped 3 large (7-1/4" to 8-1/2" long) carrots diced 3 stalks large (11"-12" long) celery, diced 3 cups diced potatoes 1 1/2 cup, shredded Cabbage, chopped 15 leaves swiss chard 1 bunch Kale 1 can (16 fl oz) tomatoes canned, diced 12 slices medium french bread 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, Freshly Grated 1/2 cup olive oil Steps Sequence Step 1 In a large bowl, cover the beans with cold water by 1-inch and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to soak overnight in the refrigerator. 2 Drain the beans and place them in a large pot with 8 cups of water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, until the beans are tender. Set the beans aside to cool in their liquid. 3 Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large stockpot. Add the pancetta and onions and cook over medium-low heat for 7 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Add the carrots, celery, garlic, 1 tablespoon of salt, the pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium-low heat for 7 to 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Add the tomatoes with their puree, the cabbage, if using, the kale, and basil and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 7 to 10 minutes. 4 Drain the beans, reserving their cooking liquid. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, puree half of the beans with a little of their liquid. Add to the stockpot, along with the remaining whole beans. Pour the bean cooking liquid into a large measuring cup and add enough chicken stock to make 8 cups. Add to the soup and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. 5 Add the bread to the soup and simmer for 10 more minutes. Taste for seasoning and serve hot in large bowls sprinkled with Parmesan and drizzled with olive oil.
