How to cook deliciously - Kale, White Bean, and Farro Stew

1. Stage

Blend contents of 1 can cannellini beans with its liquid in a blender until pureed.

2. Stage

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir celery, carrots, Spanish onion, and leek in hot oil until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes; add garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more.
