SAUSAGE & WHITE BEAN SOUP



Sausage & White Bean Soup image

Instead of starting with a hambone (which you won't have unless you've just eaten a baked ham) and dried beans (which require significant soaking and simmering time), simply open cans of chicken broth and beans. Minced prosciutto instantly transforms commercial chicken broth into a ham-flavored soup base. Italian sausage reinforces the pork flavor and makes the soup substantial and satisfying. Mashing some of the canned beans thickens the soup and gives it the body of one that's been long simmered. Sauteed onions, carrots and celery add depth of flavor and ensure the soup's homemade feel.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds sweet or hot Italian sausage, in the casing
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto ham, minced
2 medium onions, in medium dice
2 medium carrots, peeled and in medium dice
2 medium celery stalks, in medium dice
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3 (15.8 ounce) cans great Northern or other white beans, undrained
1 quart chicken broth (carton or can)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large, deep saute pan or soup kettle over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add sausages; cook, turning once or twice, until well-browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. (Sausage will not be fully cooked at this point.) Remove from pan. When cool enough to handle, cut into slices 1/4-inch thick.
  • Add prosciutto, onions, carrots, celery and thyme to the empty skillet; cook, stirring often, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mash one can of beans with a fork into a chunky puree. Add broth, whole and mashed beans, and sausage; cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, partially covered, to blend flavors, 20 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes; serve.

Smoked Sausage And White Bean Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 11h25m

Yield about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dried navy beans, rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound smoked pork sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
8 cups chicken stock
3 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Loaf of crusty bread, for garnish

Steps:

  • Soak beans in cold water to cover, overnight (8 to12 hours). Drain beans and rinse well.
  • In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and reserve. Add the onions and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, an additional minute.
  • Add the browned sausage back to the stockpot. Stir in the beans, bay leaves, and thyme. Add the chicken stock, water, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook, partially covered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Skim off any fat, as necessary, if desired. (The cook time may vary depending on the beans, but they should be tender and falling apart when finished.)
  • Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, if needed. Using a potato masher or the flat side of a spoon, gently mash the beans against the bottom and sides of the stockpot, leaving some of the beans whole and some mashed. Continue to simmer the soup for 30 minutes, uncovered, or until desired consistency.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve hot, with crusty bread slices.

NAVY BEAN SOUP WITH CHICKEN



Navy Bean Soup With Chicken image

Beans are really healthy, so when I cook them I try not to add anything to them that will make them unhealthy. This bean soup relies on some pepper and the green onions for seasoning. If you want salt, add some. Cooking time includes soaking time for the dried beans.

Provided by GrandmaIsCooking

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 3h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb dried navy beans
8 cups water

1/2 teaspoon white pepper
5 green onions, including tops (separate tops)
1/4 lb baby carrots, sliced 1/4 ", thick
10 cups water

Steps:

  • Wash and pick over the navy beans, then put in a pot with the 8 cups water; bring to a boil and boil 2 minutes, then remove from heat, cover and let sit at least 1 hour (3 or 4 is okay).
  • Drain and rinse the beans.
  • If chicken is frozen put it in a large pot with the 10 cups of water, bring to a boil and cook about 15 minutes until you can cut it into chunks (For raw chicken, just cut up and put in the pot with the water and proceed to the next step).
  • Cut green onion tops about 1/4 inch long and put aside; thinly slice the rest of the onions and add to chicken along with all other ingredients except the green onion tops.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 ½ to 2 hours or until beans are as tender as you like them.
