Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 pound (about 2 bunches) collard greens, stalks removed, leaves coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- 2 cans (19 ounces each) white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice
- Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)
Directions
-
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomato paste, and cook, stirring, until onion is coated, about 30 seconds. Add collard greens, thyme, and red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until collards start to wilt, 2 to 4 minutes.
-
Place 1/4 of beans in a bowl, and mash them with the back of a spoon (this will help thicken soup). Add all the beans to the pan, as well as tomatoes with juice and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer, until collards are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.

Nutritious and Delicious!
This soup was an easy way to incoporate very healthy ingredients into a delicious, and hearty soup. I decided to use stock to make it richer -combined with bread it was a great meal
Wonderful and easy soup with excellent flavor. I used kale. This is a keeper!

As I was watching the episode it looked very good so my friends and I made it the next day we're planning to make it for Thanksgivig as a second coarse. I absolutely love youre recepies and all the thing you sell at Macy's

Great soup! Especially if you love collard greens. I even cheated and found chopped collard greens in a bag in the veggie section. Amazingly good for you, too, and so so easy!
