Ingredients

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 large onion, diced

3 stalks celery, diced

Kosher salt

2 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and coarsely chopped

5 cloves garlic (4 minced; 1 whole)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 bunch Swiss chard, leaves roughly chopped

Freshly ground pepper

4 thick slices sourdough bread

Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook until the vegetables are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and broth, bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the roasted peppers, minced garlic and cilantro and cook until the garlic is soft, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chard, cover and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape the contents of the skillet into the pot and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Toast the bread, then rub with the whole garlic clove. Serve the soup with the bread and lemon wedges, if desired.

This was amazing as written, but I could see adding sausage or ham for an option. This will be a regular on my soup rotation!
