  • ½ pound Beef Short Ribs, boneless
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 5 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 Carrots
  • 1 bunch Kale (about 1 Cup Chopped)
  • 4 Cups Cooked Cannellini Beans (You can use 2 15oz cans)
  • 4 Cups Beef Broth
  • To taste Salt
  • ½ Cup Water
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Parmesan Cheese for garnishing
Instructions
  1. Place the Beef Short Ribs in slow cooker or crock pot with water, onion and garlic cloves and cook on low about 8 hours.
  2. In a large stock pot, saute the carrots in the olive oil for about 3-4 minutes. Add in the kale and saute 2-3 minutes more.
  3. Cut the meat into small pieces and add along with the juice, onions and garlic from the slow cooker to the stockpot.
  4. Add in the cooked cannellini beans and the beef broth.
  5. Season with salt.
  6. Cover and cook for 30 minutes.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
  8. Serve piping hot with a nice bread and garnish with Parmesan cheese!
  9. *** Or another option if you do not want to use a slow cooker is to saute the meat with the carrots, onions and garlic and cook for about 45 minutes on low heat until the meat is tender. Then continue with the recipe by adding the rest of the ingredients. You can also use a different white bean if you cannot find cannellini beans.***
