I’m madly in love with soups, and this one is one of my favorites. I won’t be sharing more than the recipe for this post. As I was telling you before, I took the decision to keep it short so I could keep up with the Spanish version.
I fell behind translating and posting in English. So before the list of unpublished posts gets bigger and bigger, here is the recipe.

Navy beans, kale and mirepoix soup.
Mirepoix stands for minced celery, onion and carrots.I used
Ingredients
- 1 <g class="gr_ gr_67 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="67" data-gr-id="67">finlye</g> chopped leek white and light green part
- 2 celery stalks <g class="gr_ gr_68 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="68" data-gr-id="68">finly</g> chopped
- 2 carrots finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 11/2 cups of cooked navy beans or 1 can
- 4 cups water or vegetable broth
- 2 <g class="gr_ gr_69 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling" id="69" data-gr-id="69">handfulls</g> of kale or spinach leaves
- freshly ground black pepper
- to serve
- 1 baguette or whole wheat rustic bread torn into small pieces <g class="gr_ gr_65 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="65" data-gr-id="65">pices</g>
- olive oil
Instructions
- In a saucepan add the olive oil and place over <g class="gr_ gr_66 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="66" data-gr-id="66">medium high</g> heat, add the vegetables and salt. Sweat them for a couple of minutes, do not let them brown. The idea is that vegetables release their flavor. Leave for 5-7 minutes or until the leek and celery are semi-transparent.
- Add water or vegetable broth, white beans and leave covered for about 10 minutes. At the end add the kale leaves and pepper.
- When the kale leaves are tender and soup simmers, try for seasoning, adjust if necesary.
- Serve in bowls, top with pieces of bread and <g class="gr_ gr_64 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling" id="64" data-gr-id="64">bathes</g> finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
