Ingredients to make Greens and Beans Soup
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 pound leeks,white only,cut into long,thin strips
1 small onion,chopped
1/2 carrot,chopped
4 garlic cloves,chopped
1/3 pound savoy cabbage,or a mixture seasonal cooking greens,thinly sliced or shredded
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 ripe tomatoes,chopped
1 teaspoon red harissa paste
6 1/3 cups vegetable broth,approximately
15 ounces canned borlotti beans,drained or substitute pinto or a red bean
*ADDITIONS*
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1/2 lemon,for the juice
1 pinch paprika,for color
salt and black pepper,to taste
Directions to make Greens and Beans Soup
Step 1:Heat olive oil in a large skillet and saute the leeks and onion for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add carrot and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the greens, coriander and tomatoes, cover and cook for 2 minutes
Step 2:. Stir in the red harissa paste (see variation), broth and beans. Cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender.
Step 3:Combine yogurt and lemon juice. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the yogurt mixture. Season to taste. Serve immediately in large shallow bowls, sprinkled with paprika.
Step 5:**VARIATIONS. *Lowfat: use less or no oil to soften the onions. Switch to a lowfat plain yogurt then reduce the lemon juice to taste. *Use parsnip, sweet potato, or pumpkin squash instead of carrot. *TESTED with red kidney beans and spinach, we used a Herbed Harissa instead of the red; mixed it with the yogurt and added at table.
Step 6:**TIP: If you make extra soup, do not add yogurt to the reserve. Yogurt should not be heated, only warmed by the soup.
Step 7:**Harissa is a chili pepper sauce with many variations.
