I added a head of Swiss chard and about 5 fresh sage leaves (which I highly recommend because ), uh,white beans and sage...). Really wonderful.
Rere
This is really good and fast to make. Only thing I will say is the soup base is not red like the picture. I think maybe if I do this recipe again I’ll add some sun dried tomatoes or a little tomato paste.

When is a parmesan rind ever a bad idea? With good wishes to everyone to stay home and stay healthy.
Grandie
AMAZING. I adapted the recipe after reading many of the comments. My husband & I rate our recipes & this one was 10/10! With the changes made, we have enough for 2 nights for two of us, w/perhaps a little leftover for a snack. I appreciated all the comments, as i do think the changes mattered:1) CHOP the onions2) Used 6 large garlic cloves3) Used 3 Cans of Beans4) Used 2 Cups of veggie broth5) Added 2 T of Tomato Paste & a generous handful of Spinach in Step 4GREAT. esp in cold weather

Very good. I added a little more stock and some chopped kale. The lemon zest and parsley really brighten the flavors.

Used a red onion instead of yellow. Decided to add a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste to give some more color and boost the tomato flavor. Also added a few handfuls of kale and another can of beans to increase the serving size since a few people commented that the original recipe did not feed four. Happily fed five people with enough left over for some seconds!

Two 10 ounce containers of cherry tomatoes not only means a trip to the store, but will cost about as much as a nice little steak (and this time of year even cherry tomatoes are so-so). Any suggestions for substituting some sort of canned tomatoes? How much? what type?
Celina
I used whole canned tomatoes and I roasted them with the oil, thyme and some oregano. Works fine - when you add them to the beans, add in some liquid chicken or vege stock to loosen on the stove.

4-6 servings? Are you kidding? More like half that, unless you add a lot more broth and turn it into a soup or dish out very small servings. Having read the comments beforehand, I halved the larger cherry tomatoes, so all would cook at about the same speed; upped the garlic; cooked the onions and garlic a bit longer until softened; added fresh sage. Also added roughly 1/2 c more broth. Sprinkled parmesan and squeezed lemon on top. But what about that lemon zest? Should it be grated?

Add balsamic and 2TB of tomato paste to it at the end. I had to use sage as I did not have thyme. No red flake peppers, used siracha. Excellent and forgiving recipe. If you use extra olive oil to roast the tomatoes you can use it as dip/dizzle for the toast and it is really good.

As written was good but a little too subtle for my taste. I added two chopped anchovies and a little red wine vinegar. Great day two.

We used one can of butter beans and one can of kidney beans because that's what we had (#quarantinelife), and no parsley or thyme. Still quite tasty! Good effort to taste ratio. Especially good with my boyfriend's sourdough (which now he makes all the time because, again, #quarantinelife)
Kristin
I thought this recipe was just okay. It lacked an umami element. The instruction to “slice” the onion rather than chop it confuses me. I ended up with a stringy onion texture in the final dish that was unpleasant. It would be much better to start with chopped onions. Following one of the suggestions here, I added a generous helping of spinach at the end, which helped the dish. The lemon zest is a critical component; don’t skip it.
Lyd
Suggestions for using soaked dried beans?
new favorite!
Added green beans & Bavarian sausages and it made it very hearty! Will absolutely make again.
rh
Good. Added a tablespoon of tomato paste, more stock, and nutritional yeast and spike to give it more umami

I didn't have lemons handy so ended up using some grapefruit zest with a splash of lemon juice. The parsley I used was labeled curly parsley. I otherwise stuck close to the recipe but did take the sliced onions and cut them in half so they were not rings and I also added a splash of cider vinegar as it cooked.People have mentioned they thought this recipe bland and I was concerned I might think that but both my wife and I found it to be quite tasty.
Cindy
My daughter texted me to make this ASAP so I did! I made a list of recommended additions and used some of them. Had 1/2 can San Marzano tomatoes open so I used that with 2/3 contained of fresh cherry tomatoes and that worked perfectly and added some fresh mushrooms to the tomato mix. The whole thing was delish!
LK
This was easy, nutritious and tasty. For my leftover serving, I heated it in the microwave on a bed of fresh baby spinach to make it a one dish meal.
Louise
Fabulous. Added arugula and pitted good-quality black olives. FAN-TAS-TIC!!!
Callie
Would this freeze well?
Tyler
One of my new favorite NYT recipes! If you don’t mind an extra step, I highly recommend using Rancho Gordo’s royal corona beans (huge, delicious white beans). Will be making again soon!
Megan
Added smoked trout and kale. Delicious!!
Joy
Do not skip the zest and parsley! Man, that's good.

I rubbed roasted garlic on toast made on the stove with olive oil as well as made the nytimes recipe for parmesan-roasted cauliflower, and it was all SO good together! I definitely used more broth than it says.
annieurban
Delicious, easy. Made this recently while visiting friends in Southern California. Used 1/2 beans (one can) so soup/stew was more tomato than beans. (Next time I’ll roast longer, maybe 45 min.) Used fresh basil instead of parsley because that’s what was available at farmer’s market. Dinner-party worthy.
Dara
I found this recipe bland. I chopped the onion and added more garlic than what the recipe calls for. I think that ground Italian turkey sausage would bring more flavor and green olives.
Matt Russell
Wonderful recipe! After aggregating some comments, I made with these mods:– Two 12 oz clamshells of vine-on cherry tomatoes – add a pinch of oregano in addition to the thyme while baking tomatoes (on a 1/2 sheet pan lined with foil)– Chop the onion (vs. slice) – Double the garlic to 6 garlic cloves sliced– 2T of tomato paste added when tomatoes go into pot– 2 handfuls of spinach with 2 min left of simmering.Don’t skip out on:– Toasted rustic bread– Lemon zest– grated Parmesan
Dara
Adding some whole or halved green olives would elevate. Next time!
