Steps:
- Cut pork into 2-inch cubes. Slice one of the onions into rings and place directly on top of the pork. Press down on the onions lightly to squeeze out some of their juice. Place in the fridge to marinate overnight.
- Take the pork out of the refrigerator. Remove the onions and throw them away. In an oiled soup pot over medium heat, sear the sides of the pork until they brown.
- Add the diced onions and sliced carrots. Sauté until the veggies turn golden brown.
- Add the white beans, bay leaves and boiled water. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for an hour and a half. Season with salt and pepper. Note: You may need to add more water, as the beans tend to absorb liquid.
- Remove the soup from heat. Garnish with fresh dill and enjoy!

CREAMY WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH SPICY PAPRIKA OIL
As easy as it is fast, this simple blended white bean soup relies upon cheap staples like canned beans, stock, garlic, olive oil, shallots and dried herbs. An artful drizzle of paprika oil enlivens it. While the soup simmers, toast red-pepper flakes and smoked paprika in olive oil to make a vibrant red sauce inspired by Chinese chile oil. The soup is great before blending - it's more like a stew - but purées to a creamy white. You could top the soup with sautéed quartered button mushrooms, roasted vegetables or toasted croutons, but the paprika oil provides deep flavor, and is the only garnish you truly need.

Steps:
- Prepare the soup: In a large pot, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the shallots, celery, garlic, Italian seasoning, fennel seeds (if using) and rosemary (if using); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes, reducing the heat to medium-low if needed to avoid browning the vegetables.
- Add the stock and rinsed beans, and bring to a boil over high. Once the mixture comes to a boil, cook over medium-high until flavors meld and stock thickens, about 15 minutes.
- While the soup cooks, prepare the paprika oil: Heat 1/3 cup oil in a small skillet over the lowest heat on your smallest burner. Add the paprika and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, just until toasted and flavors bloom, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain, discarding flakes, then set paprika oil aside.
- Working in batches if needed, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth, adding half-and-half or almond milk to thin to desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide among bowls and drizzle with strained paprika oil to serve.
Tips:
- Use a slow cooker to save time and energy. Simply combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this soup on the stovetop. Just bring all of the ingredients to a boil in a large pot, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the pork is cooked through.
- Use any type of white beans that you like. Cannellini beans, Great Northern beans, and navy beans are all good choices.
- If you want a spicier soup, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
Conclusion:
This spicy pork and white bean soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork roast or pork chops. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying soup recipe, give this one a try!
