Cheezy Kale and White Bean Soup

November 10, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Vegan MoFo, Day 10

Cheezy Kale and White Bean Soup -- Epicurean VeganKale is my drug. I love it. This soup is great for fall (or even a cool summer evening) and easy to throw together. It’s hearty without being overly filling, not to mention full of immune-boosting ingredients that will help ward off those pesky winter colds.

INGREDIENTS:
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbs olive oil
1 large leek, chopped
2-15 oz cans great northern or cannellini beans, drained
8 C vegetable broth (or 6 cups broth, 2 cups of water)
1/2 C white wine
1/2 C fresh parsley, chopped
2 Tbs lemon juice
4-5 C fresh kale, torn or chopped
1 C vegan cheddar, shredded
White pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste

Cheezy Kale and White Bean Soup -- Epicurean VeganI just filled my 4 cup Pyrex measuring cup of kale to the top–so about 5 cups

DIRECTIONS:
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and leek and saute until slightly browned. Add the beans and parsley and saute 4-5 minutes.

Cheezy Kale and White Bean Soup -- Epicurean VeganAdd the broth, kale, lemon juice, and white wine. Let simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper. 5 minutes before serving, add the cheeze. This is strictly an optional ingredient—you can also just sprinkle a little cheeze on individual servings. Enjoy!

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
