Spanish Chorizo, Kale and Cranberry Bean Soup with Oven-Dried Tomato-Garlic Toast
Need This recipe is typical of European cuisine. A mixture of olive oil, wine, onion, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. To use up the kosher salt you could follow this main course with the Low Fat Crumbs Cake (Kosher-Dairy) as a dessert. It is perfect for Autumn. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 9 hours.
