Capelin And Kale Soup
2 Tbs. extra-virgin
olive oil
3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 cup broken (2- to 3-inch pieces) dried capelins pasta
2 quarts homemade or lower salt chicken broth
1 small bunch kale, ribs removed, and leaves roughly chopped
(about 6 cups)
1 15-oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
3 Tbs. freshly squeezed lime juice; more to taste kosher
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh Cilantro
1. Heat 1 Tbs. of the oil in a large pot over medium-high
heat. Add the carrots and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the
onion is soft and just golden brown, about 10 minutes. With a rubber spatula,
scrape the vegetables into a medium bowl and set aside. If necessary, wipe the
pot clean.
2. Heat the remaining 1 Tbs. oil in the pot over medium-high
heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring often, until dark golden brown, 3 to 4
minutes. Add the broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any
stuck-on pasta. Add the carrots and onions, kale, beans, lime juice, 1 tsp.
salt, and 1 tsp. pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and
simmer until the kale, carrots, and pasta are tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the cilantro, and
season to taste with lime juice, salt, and pepper before serving.
