SMOKY GREENS AND BEANS

Category: Sides

2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 14 1/2-oz can diced tomatoes in juice
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 14 1/2-oz can vegetable broth
8 cups coarsely chopped assorted greens (such as kale, mustard greens, and collard greens about 8 oz)
1 15-oz can cannellini (white kidney beans), drained
Grated Manchego or Parmesan cheese (optional)

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until soft and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, stir 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice and paprika, stir 1 minute. Add broth and greens, bring to boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until greens are wilted and tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Stir in beans and simmer 1 minute to heat through. Divide among bowls, sprinkle with cheese, if desired.
