Time 9h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound dried Great Northern beans
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 large bay leaves
2 quarts water
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 pounds butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
2 cups chopped carrots
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 ½ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon allspice
1 (12 ounce) package pre-cooked chicken sausage, cut into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Place Great Northern beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add bay leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Mix beans, water, and bouillon into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Stir squash, carrots, celery, salt, black pepper, white pepper, ginger, and allspice into broth mixture; simmer until squash and carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaves from broth mixture and discard. Scoop 2 to 3 cups of vegetable-bean mixture using a slotted spoon from broth; blend broth and remaining vegetable-bean mixture using a hand blender until smooth. Return the vegetable-bean mixture to broth mixture and stir in sausage. Simmer soup until sausage is cooked through, 5 to 10 more minutes.

Categories     appetizer

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound dried borlotti (cranberry or October) beans
8 cups water
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 cups rustic or sourdough bread cubes (1/2-inch, crusts removed)
3 unpeeled garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup diced (1/2-inch) onion
1 cup diced (1/2-inch) carrots
1 cup sliced celery (stalks cut in half lengthwise and then cut into 1/2-inch slices)
1 cup diced (1/2-inch) parsnip
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 firmly packed tablespoons sliced fresh sage leaves
3 cups peeled and diced (1/2-inch) butternut squash
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or dried red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight, or for at least 6 hours, in enough cold water to cover. Drain and transfer to a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the water and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, until almost tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and cook 10 more minutes.
  • Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cubes to a large bowl and toss with the garlic, salt, pepper, oil, and sage. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a second large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, parsnip, garlic, and sage, and cook until the vegetables have softened but are not colored, about 10 minutes. Add the squash and cook for 10 more minutes. Season with the remaining tablespoon of salt, and the black and Aleppo peppers. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Spoon 1 cup of the cooked beans along with 1/4 cup of their cooking liquid into a blender and puree until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the puree into the pan with the vegetables. Add the whole beans with their cooking liquid, the bay leaves, and honey, and simmer until the vegetables are completely tender, about 10 more minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired.
  • Serve the soup in warm bowls, topped with the croutons.

ITALIAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH GREENS



Italian Butternut Squash and White Bean Soup With Greens image

I clipped this from a magazine years ago and just now came across it again. As someone who is allergic to cow's milk, I'm always happy to find tasty, satisfying vegetarian soups that are dairy-free. Although I haven't tried this one yet, it looks so good I know that I will do so soon. :) Prep time does not include peeling, seeding and dicing the squash; you can save time and effort by buying peeled and cut butternut squash, which is available at some grocery stores (such as Trader Joe's).

BEAN, TOMATO AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP



Bean, Tomato and Butternut Squash Soup image

Most of my recipes are variations of other ones I come across that sound interesting to me. More often than not I cannot follow it to the letter and end up tweaking it to my liking. This one came about because I had never had Butternut squash and wanted to try it. I hope that you like as much as I loved creating it.

Categories     Other Soups

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 lb bacon diced small
2 c diced onions
1 c sliced celery
3 - 4 Tbsp minced garlic
2 c peeled, seeded and diced butternut squash
1 tsp crushed chilli peppers
3 can(s) 14.5 oz each chicken broth or make your own with boullion cubes and water
2 can(s) red or pinto beans 15 oz
2 c diced roma tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In heavy 4 qt saucepan or Dutch oven cook bacon over medium heat until thoroughly cooked. Add onions and celery, cook until onions are golden and tender. Add garlic and cook 1 additional minute.
  • 2. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat to boiling. Reduce heat and cover to simmer for 20-25 minutes or until squash is fork tender.
  • 3. Remove from heat and let cool. Add soup to blender and blend together. Return soup to another saucepan, cook on medium heat until hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • 4. ***if you're not a fan of pureed soups then you can remove about 3 cups of the soup, blend it and then mix it back in with the remaining soup for a soup that has a bit more texture to it. My family likes it either way.
