Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the carrot and potato into bite-sized chunks. Cut the brown onion into wedges. Place the veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then bake until tender, 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the celery and garlic. Pick thyme leaves. Roughly chop the cavolo nero kale.
In a large pot or saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the celery, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic & herb seasoning, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), the thyme and 1/2 the garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add the cannellini beans (including the liquid!), chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock powder and the water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly reduced, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: Adding the bean soaking liquid helps to thicken the soup.
While the soup is simmering, combine the remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil in a small bowl. Slice the ciabatta in half and place cut-side up on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle the garlic oil over the bread and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese (reserve a pinch for garnish). Bake the ciabatta until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 3-5 minutes.
Add the roasted veggies and kale to the soup, then cook, stirring, until the kale has softened, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste.
Divide the Mediterranean tomato and cannellini bean soup between bowls. Top with the reserved Parmesan cheese. Serve with the cheesy garlic ciabatta.
