kale + white bean soup


what's not to love about soup, it is a weekly occurrence in our home - toss a few ingredients in a pot and simmer away. i had slow cooked great northern beans in the crock pot during the day with a bit of thyme, bay leaf and garlic- the smell was infectious, it hit you hard as you walked through the door. a smell that only meant one thing in that moment; soup was in order.

kale is a great winter green and pairs nicely with white beans, add in some garlic, roasted tomatoes and you are on your way to a mighty fine soup. like most soups this tastes even better the next day.


kale + white bean soup


olive oil
1 small onion or shallot chopped
4 garlic cloves minced
1 small bunch of kale chopped (about 2 cups)
2 cups white beans
2 cups cooking stock from beans
6 cups vegetable broth or 8 cups if using canned beans
2 cups roasted tomatoes with juices
1 bay leaf
tablespoon good balsamic vinegar
juice from 1/2 a lemon 
salt + pepper to taste

1. heat oil in a stock pot over medium heat
2. saute onion until golden in color
3. add garlic + kale, season with salt + pepper; saute for 3 min
4. add beans, cooking stock, vegetable broth, roasted tomatoes; bring to a boil
5. toss in bay leaf + balsamic - cover + reduce heat to a simmer
6. simmer for approximately 20 to 30 minutes
7. add lemon juice + season to taste with salt & pepper

  1. In the high demands of cyber security, it becomes essential to back up email files. Since contacts and emails are the most prominent aspects of Outlook account, therefore it is quite necessary to back up your Outlook data in the most convenient way. Microsoft Outlook automatically saves tasks, messages, journal entries, contacts, appointments, notes and others in one of the given locations:
    a) In a personal storage folder as .pst file on hard disk drive.
    b) In a mailbox, data is located on server if you use Outlook with Microsoft Exchange Server.
    What will happen if your data lose unexpectedly, experience a hardware failure or have to transfer data from one computer/hard disk drive to another computer/hard disk drive? To avoid all such problems, it will be a wise decision to use a backup of your .pst file. Outlook stores data in folders on the Exchange Server if the Location field consists of a path to a file that has the file name extension .ost.
