Ham and Bean Tomato Soup image

Erin Lembke's take on this hearty classic is a thick tomato-based soup loaded with veggies and well-seasoned with herbs. Cayenne pepper gives it some zip. "I always make up a soup recipe as I go along," Erin writes from Bothell, Washington. "My husband, who doesn't usually care much for soup, really likes this one."

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bunch fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon dried
Large sprig of fresh rosemary or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
2 bunches fresh oregano or 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons dried
3 cups dried white beans, washed and picked over
12 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil or 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, diced
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups canned tomatoes, chopped, with their liquid
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 quarts vegetable stock or water
2 to 2 1/2 limes, quartered

Steps:

  • If using fresh herbs, make an herb packet by placing a large square of cheesecloth on a counter. Place the thyme, rosemary and half the oregano in the center, gather the ends together and tie to enclose. Remove the leaves from the remaining bunch of oregano, chop and reserve.
  • Combine the beans, fresh herb packet or the dried herbs and water in a large saucepan or stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until the beans are cooked through but still firm, 1 hour. Remove from the heat. Lift out and discard the herb bundle.

  • Stir in the garlic and cook just until the aroma is released, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their liquid, salt, pepper and half of the reserved chopped oregano (if using fresh). Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is evaporated. Stir in the beans and their cooking liquid and cook 5 minutes longer.

WHITE BEAN AND HAM SOUP - RECIPE



White Bean and Ham Soup - Recipe image

I was looking for a recipe to use parmesean cheese rinds and found this recipe. The rind is the outer edges, furthest away from the center, of cheese that has been formed into a disk or wheel of cheese. On some types of cheese, the outside of the cheese is often a wax coating covering the Rind which is the section closest to the outside that begins to harden as the cheese ages. Since the hardened Rind is not considered to be good for eating or grating, it often cut from the cheese and used as a seasoning for foods. The Rind from Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese is very popular as a flavoring to be added to soups, stews, dried beans, soup broth, and canned or fresh vegetables. To save the Rind for future use, wrap it in airtight plastic and freeze. A combination of ingredients makes this soup similar to Italian soups - a very hearty ham and bean soup that goes well with crusty breads and cheese.

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.

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

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

Steps:

  • Peel the garlic, then smash the cloves using a meat pounder or the bottom of a heavy skillet until wispy and flat.
  • 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.
  • Add the white beans and their liquid, crushed tomatoes, stock or water, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then partly cover, reduce heat, and let simmer until thickened and fragrant, 15 to 20 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.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of beans, such as cannellini, navy, and Great Northern beans.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and nutrition to the soup.
  • Use chicken or vegetable broth: This will give the soup a richer flavor than water.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve with a side of bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the soup and make it a more satisfying meal.
