Method

  1. 1

    Heat half the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the onion, carrots and celery and cook for 10 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Stir in the cavolo nero and cook for 3-4 minutes until starting to wilt.

  3. 3

    Drain and rinse the cannellini beans and add to the pan with the chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Blitz about a third of the soup until smooth, then stir back through for a thick, rustic texture. Tear in the day-old bread and stir through until softened.

  5. 5

    Ladle into bowls and drizzle with the remaining olive oil to serve.
