  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 bunch broccoli rabe (about 1 pound), trimmed and coarsely chopped
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups water
2 cans (15.5 ounces each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat oil over medium. Add onions and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to release their liquid, 2 to 4 minutes. Add broccoli rabe; cook, stirring, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add broth and the water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli rabe is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add beans and parsley; simmer until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
