Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup olive oil & more for serving
¼ cup chopped fresh sage leaves
4 garlic cloves (sliced thin)
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 16 ounce - 32 ounces total cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
Garnish: crispy bacon (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sage and sliced garlic. Shake the pan so the garlic doesn't stick, but don't stir it because the garlic might clump.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 3-4 minutes or until the garlic turns very light gold and the sage darkens a bit.
  • Add the tomatoes and salt. Simmer, stirring often, until the tomatoes are shiny and their juices have evaporated; 8-10 minutes.
  • Add the pepper, sugar and chicken broth, stirring often, and bring the broth to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, add the beans, simmer (stirring often) until the liquid has evaporated, 18-20 minutes.
  • Remove the beans/tomatoes from the heat and stir in the parsley. Season, if needed, with more salt & pepper.
  • Serve with extra olive oil for drizzling and a sprinkle of crispy bacon (optional).
  • Enjoy!

TOMATO AND WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH LOTS OF GARLIC



Tomato and White Bean Soup With Lots of Garlic image

This recipe makes the most out of just a handful of pantry ingredients, like canned white beans, a can of tomatoes and a full head of garlic. The soup owes its surprisingly rich and complex flavor to how the garlic is cooked: By smashing the cloves, you end up with different sizes and pieces of garlic. These cook irregularly, which means you'll taste the full range of garlic's flavors, from sweet and nutty to almost a little spicy. Simmer the lightly browned garlic with white beans and tomatoes, then blend, and you have a creamy, cozy soup that's endlessly adaptable: Add aromatics to the simmering pot, or make it spicy with harissa, smoked paprika or chipotle. Top with pesto, croutons, cheese, cooked grains, greens or a fried egg.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 garlic cloves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 (14-ounce) cans white beans, such as cannellini or great Northern, including their liquid
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup stock or water, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
Heavy cream, for serving

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil, then add the crushed garlic, and cook, smashing with the back of a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until golden brown and beginning to stick to the bottom of the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Using an immersion or regular blender, purée the soup until smooth. Add cream or stock or water to thin as desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle with heavy cream before serving.

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings as main course

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 cloves garlic, peeled
Canola oil for greasing pan
4 plum tomatoes, halved and seeded
6 sage leaves, chopped
1 cup chicken or beef stock
1 15 1/2-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup instant polenta

Steps:

  • To make the beans, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover the garlic. When water boils add garlic and cook one minute. Drain and repeat this procedure three times -- it will eliminate the harshness and leave the flavor. Mash the garlic with garlic press; set aside.
  • Lightly oil a roasting pan and place tomatoes in pan. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until juice is released and skins have puckered. When tomatoes are ready, peel and add to pot large enough to hold all the ingredients for the beans.
  • Add the garlic, sage, stock and beans. Simmer until mixture is thick and most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt if desired and pepper.
  • To make the polenta meanwhile, boil water in small pot with the butter, milk and salt.
  • When water boils, reduce heat slightly and slowly whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to very low and cook the polenta 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • To serve, spoon polenta into a shallow bowl or plate and spoon bean sauce over top.
