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.

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

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.

There are American, Hungarian, French, Portuguese, African and Scandinavian variations of the story of Stone Soup--a parable that teaches how each of us can contribute a little to the whole, which then becomes something much greater than the sum of its parts. So many different cultures telling a similar story of neighborliness and gathering around a pot of soup is a lesson in and of itself. Think of all the people in your community right now with whom you could share this wonderful recipe.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 pound Italian sausage, casing removed
4 cups chicken stock
3 garlic cloves, sliced
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1 large potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
One 2-inch-square piece Parmigiano cheese rind

Add sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned--about 5 minutes. Add stock, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery, potato, zucchini, beans, parsley and cheese rind. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer.

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use high-quality sausage. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, ground pork and has a good amount of seasoning.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
  • Add a bay leaf or two to the soup. This will give it a subtle, but delicious flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste. Be sure to add enough salt and pepper to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
