VEGAN BLACK BEAN AND SWEET POTATO SOUP



Vegan Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup image

This hearty vegan soup conjures up the flavors of Spain in a bowl. The smoked paprika (aka pimenton) gives it a deep savory taste that anyone -- even your favorite omnivore -- will enjoy. We like water as the base of this soup because it lets the flavors of the vegetables shine through. While it's optional, the drizzle of sherry vinegar at the end adds a brightness that takes this dish to the next level.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
Kosher salt
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons smoked paprika (pimenton)
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 dried bay leaves
2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and chopped
Two 15.5-ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Sherry vinegar, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes.
  • Make a space in the middle of the pot and add the tomato paste, garlic, smoked paprika and coriander. Cook this mixture in that spot, stirring, until the tomato paste darkens a shade or two, about 1 minute, then stir into the vegetables. Add 12 cups water and the bay leaves. Bring to a rapid simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the sweet potatoes and black beans. Continue to simmer rapidly until the vegetables are very tender and the soup is thick and flavorful. 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the parsley. Season with additional salt, as needed. Ladle into soup bowls and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and 3 to 4 drops of sherry vinegar per bowl if using.

HUNGARIAN GREEN BEAN AND POTATO SOUP



Hungarian Green Bean and Potato Soup image

A Crescent Dragonwagon recipe, a delicious sweet and sour soup, don't omit a thing, as all the flavors meld into an incredible dish. Cutting the beans into very thin diagonal slices is important; if you have a food processor, stand them up in the feed tube and use the slicing disk. Make sure your paprika is fresh for best flavor. For a much richer version, use up to a cup of creme fraiche or sour cream instead of the Yogurt. Creme fraiche will not require the cornstarch mixture as a stabilizer. I like to add a bit of Spanish smoked paprika, but it isn't necessary. A full-flavored stock is essential. I streamline her directions when I make this by sauteeing the onion, celery, and garlic in the soup pot, then adding the other ingredients and cooking it. I see no reason to clean two pans if I can clean just one!

Categories     Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into quarter-inch slices
4 small potatoes, diced
6 cups chicken stock or 6 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2-1 teaspoon caraway seed
salt, to taste
pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced (use leaves, too)
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
3/4 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Spray a large soup pot with cooking spray, put in it the beans, potatoes, stock, vinegar, honey, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a ten-inch skillet. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the celery, saute another 2 to 3 minutes. Lower the heat slightly, and sprinkle the vegetables with the paprika. Let the mixture cook a minute, stirring constantly. Scrape the sauteed vegetables into the soup pot. Add a little soup liquid to the skillet and deglaze it, then scrape the pan contents into the soup pot. Remove the soup pot from the heat.
  • When ready to serve, have the soup good and hot. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and mix it to make a smooth paste, using your fingers if necessary. Stir this paste into the yogurt. Whisk a ladle of the hot bean stock into the yogurt-cornstarch mixture. Turn down the heat under the soup as low as possible, and stir the cornstarch-stabilized yogurt into the very hot soup.Using a wooden spoon, stir gently until the soup has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings (including honey and vinegar), if necessary, and to be sure there is no raw cornstarch taste. Serve hot with a rustic bread.

GREEN BEAN AND POTATO SOUP



Green Bean and Potato Soup image

When my DH and I were first married I made this for him. He thought this was the most VILE tasting stuff he had ever had, and I was to NEVER make it again!. I was so suprised our marriage wasn't annuled. As you can see-I did make it again (nearly 20 years later), but only so I can enjoy it, and post it here. My DH smirked at me and did some eye rolling when he saw me preparing this, and knew that I wouldn't dare pack it in his thermos. As a child I grew up on a farm-every animal imaginable, 17 acres or so of blueberries(child labor), and of course a huge vegetable garden(more child labor). My mother being the thrifty sort thought this up and we had this frequently. Cheap meal for 6 children. One of those 'Back to the Basics' recipes. No measuring is really required. This is at its Absolute BEST with fresh green beans, and beautiful squeaky new potatoes(with the skins left on). Of course this can be made with canned or frozen green beans, or canned potatoes. Easily made for 1 or 2 or for potlucks.

POTATO AND WHITE BEAN PUTTANESCA SOUP



Potato and White Bean Puttanesca Soup image

Potatoes and cannellini beans provide the bulk in this hearty soup inspired by pasta puttanesca, while the garlicky tomato base is imbued with the briny punch of capers and black olives. The signature of puttanesca is heat, so adjust the amount of red-pepper flakes to your liking or use fresh chiles, if you have them. Reserve some of the olives and capers, and combine with parsley to make a topper that amplifies the sharp, bright flavors. Haphazardly mashing some of the beans and potatoes is an efficient way to thicken the soup, without the need for any additional equipment. In fact, it's a great trick to have up your sleeve whenever you are looking to thicken soups or stews.

Categories     dinner, lunch, soups and stews, vegetables, appetizer, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
1 medium onion, finely diced (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup black olives, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons capers, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 pound Yukon gold or red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or more to taste
3 cups vegetable stock
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves and tender stems (or fresh basil leaves)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the onion, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add 1/4 cup black olives, 1 tablespoon capers and the garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is lightly golden.
  • Add the tomatoes and sugar, and cook over medium heat until mixture is bubbling and tomatoes have thickened slightly, 5 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, cannellini beans, red-pepper flakes and stock; stir and cover. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
  • As potatoes cook, prepare the topping for your soup: Place the remaining 1/4 cup olives, 1 tablespoon capers and the parsley on a cutting board, and chop everything together.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, add the balsamic vinegar. Using the back of a large wooden spoon, roughly crush or mash about a quarter of the potatoes and beans against the side of the pot. This will thicken the soup. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with the caper-olive-parsley topping. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil. This soup can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. This will deepen the flavors.

BEAN, POTATO AND SAUERKRAUT SOUP



Bean, Potato and Sauerkraut Soup image

Raining 6 days straight here in the northeast and suddenly I'm thinking about warm comforting soups as a way to warm from the inside out. After pulling out one of my soup cookbooks and came across this one and decided to post it for the Zaar World Tour. You can make this vegetarian by omitting the prosciutto. I have not tried this one so please feel free to share your comments and sugeestions.

SPICY POTATO, BEEF AND BEAN SOUP



Spicy Potato, Beef and Bean Soup image

This is my own variation of a classic spicy potato soup. the measurements for the seasonings and broths are all guesses as I never measure anything - just pour! Typically I am not a fan of tabasco sauce but I really love it in this recipe - it gives such a nice heat that is not overbearing but really hits you in the back of the throat! I have also used green beans in this soup with great results and since you need 24 ounces of tomato sauce I usually use a one pint (16 oz.) jar of home-canned tomato sauce and one regular store bought 8 oz. can. Overall this is just a nice hearty soup that will really warm you up on a cold winter day!

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups peeled diced potatoes
2 lbs ground beef
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans
3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 cups chicken broth
6 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce (to taste)
1 -2 tablespoon italian seasoning (to taste)
1 tablespoon dried basil (to taste)
1 -2 teaspoon salt, pepper and garlic powder, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel your potatoes and cut them into large but stilll bite-size chunks. Place them in a large (8 cup) measuring cup until the 6 cup line is reached. Cover them with cold water and place in the refrigerator to prevent them from turning brown until you are ready for them.
  • In a large stock pot, brown your ground beef and drain off the fat. Add in all seasonings and tomato sauce over medium heat - mix well.
  • Drain water from potatoes and add into the stock pot along with the beans (you can drain them if you like - I usually don't), and the broths.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered for an hour or so, until the potatoes are really tender and all the flavors have melded together.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: For this recipe, pinto beans or great northern beans are good choices. They have a mild flavor and cook relatively quickly. If you want a more hearty soup, you can use kidney beans or black beans.
  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and potatoes. You can also add other vegetables that you like, such as kale, spinach, or zucchini.
  • Season the soup well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for bean and potato soup. You can also add other spices that you like, such as cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Good choices include sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, or diced avocado.

Conclusion:

Bean and potato soup is a hearty, flavorful, and budget-friendly meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans and potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
