This quick soup stars hearty greens and creamy white beans. Browned garlic and tomato paste, as well as an optional Parmesan rind, enhance store-bought broth, adding depth, umami and richness. Poaching a whole head of garlic in the broth mellows its flavor; the result is reminiscent of roasted garlic. We squeeze out the softened cloves and mash them with some beans to mix into the broth, adding body to the soup. Warm crusty bread is the perfect accompaniment.
