  • Large saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil plus extra for serving
  • 2 slices bacon chopped fine
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans
  • 2 ounces 2 cups baby kale
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add bacon and cook until rendered and crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
