CREAMY WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH SPICY PAPRIKA OIL



Creamy White Bean Soup With Spicy Paprika Oil image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (8 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 large shallots, minced (about 2/3 cup)
4 large celery stalks, peeled and thinly sliced
5 garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning or herbes de Provence
1 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
3 (14-ounce) cans cannellini beans (or chickpeas), rinsed
2 cups half-and-half or almond milk
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked (hot or sweet) paprika
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

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.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 (16 ounce) cans white kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups water
1 bunch fresh spinach, rinsed and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil. Cook onion and celery in oil for 5 to 8 minutes, or until tender. Add garlic, and cook for 30 seconds, continually stirring. Stir in beans, chicken broth, pepper, thyme and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and then simmer for 15 minutes.
  • With slotted spoon, remove 2 cups of the bean and vegetable mixture from soup and set aside.
  • In blender at low speed, blend remaining soup in small batches until smooth, (it helps to remove the center piece of the blender lid to allow steam to escape.) Once blended pour soup back into stock pot and stir in reserved beans.
  • Bring to a boil, occasionally stirring. Stir in spinach and cook 1 minute or until spinach is wilted. Stir in lemon juice and remove from heat and serve with fresh grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Creamy White Beans With Herb Oil image

Canned beans are transformed into a hearty, elegant main swirled with an herb oil that comes together in no time with the aid of a food processor. This particular oil includes chives, cilantro and basil, but feel free to use what you have on hand. Parsley and mint would also work well. Serve with a chilled glass of red wine, a big green salad and a loaf of crusty bread.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup roughly chopped chives
1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems
1/2 cup tightly packed basil leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
Squeeze of lemon
Kosher salt, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 (15-ounce) cans white beans, like butter beans or cannellini, rinsed and drained
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the oil: In a food processor, combine chives, cilantro and basil, and pulse until finely chopped. Add olive oil, and pulse again until mixture is silky and emulsified. Transfer to a small bowl, stir in lemon juice and salt to taste. Set aside.
  • Prepare the beans: In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add beans to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded, about 2 to 3 minutes. With the back of a spoon or spatula, smash about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the beans and stir until they are incorporated into the rest of the bean mixture. A good portion of the remaining beans should maintain their structure.
  • Add stock or water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until sauce becomes creamy and is reduced by about about half, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Smash additional beans and add a few more tablespoons of water, if needed, to reach desired consistency and stir again to combined.
  • Transfer beans to a bowl and swirl with herb oil on top. Season with flaky salt, if desired.

5-INGREDIENT CREAMY WHITE BEAN SOUP



5-Ingredient Creamy White Bean Soup image

Sweet Italian sausage and white beans work double duty here to keep the number of ingredients low. The sausage is filled with spices and aromatics that punch up the flavor of the soup, so you don't have to add any extra seasonings. Plus, the onion is sautéed in the sausage fat instead of an in extra ingredient like olive oil. The white beans not only infuse the dish with tons of satisfying protein--they become super creamy when they are pureed at the end, so no cream is necessary.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound sweet Italian pork sausage, casings removed
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
One 32-ounce carton chicken broth
Three 15.5-ounce cans white beans, drained and rinsed
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, making sure the pieces sit in a single layer (if they don't, remove some and work in batches). Cook, stirring several times, until no longer pink on the outside and golden brown in places, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Add the onions to the pot. If there are lots of browned bits on the bottom that look like they might burn, add 2 tablespoons of broth and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon. Cook the onions, stirring frequently and adding more broth to the bottom of the pot as needed, until completely tender, about 10 minutes. Add the white beans and remaining broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook over medium heat until the beans split open, about 10 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot until completely smooth or carefully transfer the hot liquid to a blender to puree. Season the soup with salt. Serve the soup topped with the sausage.

Tips:

  • To save time, use canned beans instead of dried beans. Just be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. Just note that the soup will be thinner.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as chopped carrots, celery, or zucchini.
  • To make the soup even more flavorful, you can roast the garlic and onions before adding them to the soup.
  • If you like spicy food, you can add more paprika or cayenne pepper to the soup. You can also serve the soup with a dollop of sriracha or hot sauce.

Conclusion:

This creamy white bean soup with spicy paprika oil is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans. The soup can be served with a variety of toppings, such as grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped fresh herbs.
