Instructions
Heat the oil in the pot over medium heat. Cook the onion and carrot until soft, 6–8 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary sprig and pepper flakes and stir for 1 minute.
Add the beans, broth and salt and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.
Remove the rosemary stem. Mash about a quarter of the beans against the side of the pot to thicken the broth.
Stir in the kale and simmer until tender, 5–7 minutes. Add the lemon juice, taste for salt and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and crusty bread.
Notes
- Not vegan? Simmer a Parmesan rind with the beans for extra depth, and grate some cheese on top.
- Keeps 4 days in the fridge.
