my kitchen: EASY LEMON KALE FAGOLI



Lemon kale bean soup just sounded so good and perfect for winter, and of course, halfbakedharvest takes the best photos, so I had to try this recipe. (I wish my kitchen had the window light that hers does, but sadly no windows in my kitchen). 

LEMON KALE ORZO SOUP

▢ 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
▢ 1 shallot, chopped (x) 
▢ 4-6 cloves garlic, smashed
▢ red pepper flakes (x)
▢ 2 tablespoons salted butter
▢ 2 cups dry orzo pasta (i used fagoli, 1 cup next time, soaks too much liquid) 
▢ 6 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
▢ 1 can white beans 
▢ kosher salt and black pepper
▢ 1/2 bunch kale, finely shredded
▢ 1/2 cup basil pesto (I added less) 
▢ 1/2 cup whole milk (I added a little heavy cream) 
▢ 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (I added 1/2 cup) 
▢ zest and juice of 1 lemon (I did 1/2 lemon)

Yum would make this again though I would add less starch so it’s more soupy than not
