Time 6h25m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound dried Great Northern beans, rinsed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 leeks, white and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces, and well washed (4 cups)
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 Parmesan rind, plus finely shredded Parmesan for serving
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 bunch spinach, trimmed and washed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

SLOW-COOKER WHITE BEAN PARMESAN SOUP



Slow-Cooker White Bean Parmesan Soup image

Parmesan rinds are magic. After a long braise, that hard, waxy scrap infuses the entire soup with its rich, distinctive flavor. Here, they make a wholesome soup taste like an incredible indulgence. So don't ever throw them away. They keep in the freezer indefinitely. The wheat berries here are also a great match for the slow cooker. While they may not be the most glamorous grains, they hold their shape and take a conveniently long time to get tender. You can find them at many grocery or natural-foods stores, as well as online. But you can also substitute farro or spelt (whole grains but not pearled). Just note that they'll cook faster and may end up quite soft after an 8-hour cook time.

Time 10h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound dry cannellini beans, soaked overnight and drained
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 ounces Parmesan, hard rinds cut off and reserved, the rest grated for serving
1 cup wheat berries
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 fennel bulb, cored and finely chopped, fronds roughly chopped and reserved
3 celery stalks, sliced 1/2-inch thick
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 cups chicken stock or broth
Leaves from 1 small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Juice of 1 large lemon

Steps:

  • Put the soaked, drained beans in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker, and season them generously with salt and pepper. Add the Parmesan rinds and the wheat berries.
  • Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season generously with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the fennel. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the fennel is softened and the onion is lightly browned, about 5 more minutes. Add the celery and garlic, and cook, stirring, until just softened, about 1 minute. Add the fennel seeds and red pepper, and cook, stirring constantly, until combined and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the rosemary and the wine and let the wine bubble until the pan is almost dry, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape the mixture from the skillet into the slow cooker. Add the stock, and season it: Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, if you are using low-sodium broth, or 1 teaspoon salt, if using homemade unsalted stock. (Do not add salt now if you are using fully salted broth.) Stir to combine, and cook on low until the wheat berries are tender and the beans are creamy, about 8 to 10 hours. (Taste the beans to make sure they are creamy; they can vary in their cooking time depending on their age.) The soup can hold well on warm for 1 to 2 additional hours.
  • Before serving, remove and discard the rosemary sprigs. Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, and reserved fennel fronds. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Serve in bowls topped generously with grated Parmesan.

Categories     Bean Soups

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 oz. pancetta, minced
3 onions, minced
8 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

3 cups water

1 parmesan cheese rind, optional
2 bay leaves
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat til shimmering. Add pancetta and cook til lightly browned and crisp, about 8 minutes.

  • 4. Salt Soaked Beans: Pick through and rinse beans. For every pound of beans, dissolve 2 Tbsp. salt in 4 quart cold water. Mix beans and salt water in large container and let beans soak at room temperature for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Drain beans, discarding the soaking liquid and rinse well before cooking. The salt tenderizes the otherwise tough and chewy beans. For quick salt soaking, pick through an rinse beans. For every pound of beans, dissolve 3 Tbsp. salt in 2 quarts boiling water. Mix beans and hot salt water in large pot and let beans soak at room temperature for 1 hour. Drain beans, discarding soaking liquid and rinse well before cooking.

Tips:

  • Soaking the Beans: For the best results, soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This helps to soften the beans and reduce the cooking time.
  • Using Canned Beans: If you're short on time, you can use canned beans instead of dried beans. Just be sure to rinse and drain the canned beans before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • Adding Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as diced carrots, celery, or potatoes. You can also add a cup of frozen corn or peas near the end of the cooking time.
  • Using Different Herbs and Spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a soup that suits your taste. Some popular additions include rosemary, thyme, oregano, paprika, or cumin.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread, crackers, or a salad. You can also top the soup with grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled bacon.
