RECIPE BY Oxmoor House

This hearty soup, which is chock-full of antioxidants and fiber from the kale and beans, pairs well with a crunchy slice of toasted ciabatta. Look for packages of prechopped kale in the produce section of your supermarket.

Ingredients

  • 3 slices lower-sodium bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 3 cups packed prechopped kale
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can roasted garlic chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen chopped onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Hot sauce (optional)
