The beauty of this soup is not only in how it can be finished in a few different ways/palettes, but also in how extremely versatile it is with the inclusion or omission of ingredients based on what is available.
½ cup diced onion
½ cup diced celery
½ cup colored pepper, opt.
1 cup (or more) chopped carrots
1 cup roughly chopped cabbage
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes or ½ c tomato puree, opt
3 cup (loose) kale
6 cup ham broth (or chicken stock)
1 can navy beans
1-2 cup cubed ham, opt
Sea salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp + thyme
½ + Spirits & Spice Alderwood Smoked Salt
1-2 Tbsp Spirit & Spice Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Add 1-2 T olive oil to heavy pot over low heat. Saute onions and celery until sweating. Add pinch sea salt and pinch thyme. Add carrots to pot and saute a few more minutes. Add in peppers (if using) and season as above. If omitting peppers, then add cabbage and season with salt, pepper, and additional pinch of thyme. Saute until slightly tender, then add tomatoes. Finally, add kale and season again if desired. Once kale has softened slightly, add in broth, beans, & ham. Finish with Danish smoke salt for that smoky/ham flavor.
Serve as finished or Tuscan style with a pod of pesto and sprinkled with freshly grated parmesan cheese and Pesto Perfection seasoning, or German-Russian style with a touch of cream.
