Lunch Tuesday 2 January - Cabbage & Cannellini Bean Soup
I bought a nice head of savoy cabbage in the market today from my usual guy and he gave me a second one free as it was the end of the day. So, I have a lot of Savoy Cabbage!
Cabbage & Cannellini Bean Soup
1 onions, chopped (mine weighed 260g)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 head of garlic, sliced (about 10 cloves)
5 stalks celery, chopped (about 200g)
1 large carrot, chopped (about 100g)
1/2 head Savoy cabbage, sliced (about 260g)
1 can cannellini beans (white kidney beans)
2 pints vegetable stock
1 teaspoon winter savoury
salt, pepper to taste
An entire head of garlic might seem like a lot, but I find garlic very mild and pleasant when slow cooked. Reduce the number of cloves if you wish.
Saute the onions and garlic in the oil until beginning to soften. Add the celery, carrot and cabbage. Cover and sweat over low heat for about 10 minutes until the cabbage is wilted. Cover with the stock, add the beans and savoury and simmer for 30 minutes. Season to taste and serve.
