Ingredients
  

  • 2 15.5-oz. cans cannellini beans cooked, rinsed and divided (or use white beans), divided
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1/2 medium head Savoy cabbage shredded (this is a bit milder but can substitute green cabbage if Savoy is unavailable)
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 5 1/4 cups vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 slices whole wheat country bread cut 1/2” thick (use a loaf of whole wheat bread)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mash 1 1/2 cups of beans.
  • In a soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, till onions are soft, about 3 minutes. Add cabbage, garlic and oregano; cook, stirring often till the cabbage has wilted, about 3 minutes. Add broth, mashed beans, and whole beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and partially cover, simmering till cabbage is soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Shortly before soup is ready, toast bread. Place a slice of bread in each soup bowl. Ladle soup over bread and sprinkle with cheese. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil over each serving.
