Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 cup jarred sliced roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Two 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 cups chopped kale
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Fresh Parmesan cheese, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in an 8-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it into bite-size chunks as it cooks, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to allow excess oil to drain off.
  • Add the peppers, oregano, rosemary, garlic and onions to the pot. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, beans and tomatoes. Return the sausage to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the kale, heavy cream and apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
  • To freeze, transfer the soup to containers with airtight lids, leaving space at the top as it will expand as it freezes. Allow the soup to cool completely before placing the lids on and freezing. Reheat until hot before serving and garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired.

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.

Provided by Ben S.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Beans and Peas

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.

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.

Continue to simmer the soup for 30 minutes, uncovered, or until desired consistency.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h26m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 pound white beans (great northern or navy)
1 clove garlic, peeled, plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
6 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 leek, white part only, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
12 cups chicken stock or broth
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 head escarole, washed and chopped
Crushed red pepper, optional
1 batch Dad's Sausage Bread, recipe follows
2 2/3 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons honey
8 cups all-purpose flour
7 grams rapid rise yeast (2 packets)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 pounds Italian sweet sausage, casing removed, crumbled
2 teaspoon black pepper
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup mozzarella, diced
3 tablespoons Parmesan, grated
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Place the beans in cold water to cover by about 3 inches. Soak for 8 hours or overnight, refrigerated. Drain well and set aside.
  • Combine the whole garlic clove, thyme, peppercorns, and bay leaf in a cheesecloth bag. Tie the bag closed and set aside.
  • Place the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat and saute for about 7 minutes or until the fat has rendered out and the bacon is crisp. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add the onion, carrot, leek, and celery and saute for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft but have not taken on any color. Add the reserved soaked beans and cheesecloth bag along with the stock or broth and bring to a boil. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, for about 1 1/2 hours or until the beans are very tender.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the escarole and saute for about 4 minutes or until the escarole is wilted. Add the escarole to the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and, if using, crushed red pepper. Serve hot with Dad's Sausage Bread, if desired.
  • Heat the water, olive oil and honey in a small saucepan over low heat to 115 degrees. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Combine flour, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle water mixture over the flour, blending the liquid in with a wooden spoon. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add additional flour, 1/4 cup at time. Place the dough on a clean surface and knead for about 10 minutes. Cut the dough into 3 equal pieces and form each piece into a loaf shape. Cover and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until loaves have doubled in size.
  • While the dough is rising, place the sausage and black pepper in a nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until nicely browned. Drain off excess fat; place the sausage on a triple layer of paper towel to drain thoroughly.
  • Place 2 of the eggs in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside. Place remaining egg in another small bowl and whisk to blend. Set aside.
  • Combine the sausage with the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese and parsley. Add the 2 beaten eggs and mix to combine well. Set aside.
  • Cut into but not through each loaf of dough, lengthwise, and open up each half. Place an equal portion of the sausage mixture down the center of each loaf. Pull the sides up and over the sausage to encase it, working the dough closed. Place the loaves, seam side down, on a greased cookie sheet or pizza stone. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each loaf with remaining beaten egg. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm.

2 Italian sausages, skins removed and meat crumbled
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 quarts chicken stock
1 cup white wine
6 thyme sprigs
1 bunch of kale, washed and chopped
4 cups cooked cannellini beans

Steps:

  • Use good-quality sausage. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
