Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the soup ingredients
- Cut the fennel lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; thinly slice the quarters lengthwise.
- Strip the chard leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves and stems, keeping them separate.
- Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure 2 teaspoons [4 tsp].
- Juice the lemon.
- Rinse the cannellini beans.
2
Start the soup
Add the chard leaves, vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] lemon juice, and 2 to 3 cups [3 to 4 cups] water depending on your broth preference. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard leaves are wilted, 3 to 5 minutes.
While the soup cooks, prepare the naan croutons.
3
Make the naan croutons
Alternatively, toast the naan in a toaster on a low setting several times until crisp, then season with salt and pepper and break into pieces.
