1 1/2 ounces Veggie-Stock Gold® dissolved in 4 cups hot water

1 can (15 1/2 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

Methods/Steps
Heat the Graisse de Canard Gold® in large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
Add the diluted Veggie-Stock Gold®, tomatoes, beans, and Herbes of Provence, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
Add the cabbage and escarole and reduce heat so the soup is simmering. Cook, stirring occasionally, 20-30 minutes, until the vegetables are fork tender and the greens have softened.
Just before serving, stir in the balsamic vinegar and olives. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
