Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 carrots, medium, diced
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and leaves cut crosswise into 1-inch strips
- 1 19-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup (about 4 ounces) plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1 baguette
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
Directions
-
Heat oven to 400° F.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
-
Add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Add the tomatoes and their juices, broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
-
Add the Swiss chard and cook, stirring, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Stir in the beans and 1 cup of the Parmesan.
-
Transfer to an 8-by-11-inch baking dish or shallow 2-quart casserole.
-
Cut the baguette in half crosswise and trim the ends to form two 8-inch portions. Slice each portion lengthwise to make several 1/4-inch-thick slices. Brush the top of each slice with the remaining oil. Arrange the slices, oil-side up, over the casserole, overlapping them slightly. Top with the thyme and the remaining Parmesan. Bake until the bread is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
