Cut the soup greens into small pieces, as well as the onion, bell pepper and spring onion. Fry the onion with garlic, carrot and celery in olive oil. Add the bell pepper and spring onion. Add tomato paste and let roast lightly. Deglaze with vegetable juice and fill up with water (approx. 1 liter). Add the chopped potatoes, tomatoes and beans.
Salt, pepper and season with the spices. Add a shot (4-5 drops) of balsamic cream. Let the whole thing cook for about 30 minutes. I then let the stew infuse a little (on a glass ceramic stove).
Cut the crackers (I use a pack with 4 pieces) and fry them in a separate pan without fat (contains enough of it). You can also take Mettenden. Add the fried crackers with the leaked fat to the soup and stir.
Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or with sour or whipped cream.
The stew can be eaten straight away, but like all stews, it tastes even better when warmed up the next day.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
