Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the red pepper flakes and kosher salt.
Add the chopped greens and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until wilted. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the cannellini beans, including their liquid, the Parmesan rind, and the bay leaf. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the broth slightly thickens.
Remove the bay leaf and Parmesan rind. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the top and stir to combine.
Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese.
