SPANISH-STYLE WHITE BEAN, KALE AND CHORIZO SOUP



Spanish-Style White Bean, Kale and Chorizo Soup image

In the early '90s, I went on a weeklong press trip to Spain. Other than learning everything there is to know about olive oil, the stated purpose of our trip, all we did for a week was eat ourselves silly and drink many bottles of beautiful Spanish wine. Not surprisingly, I fell in love with Spanish cuisine. Based on impeccably fresh ingredients, it is gutsy, flavorful, and simple.

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pound dried white beans, such as Great Northern, rinsed and picked over
8 1/2 cups chicken stock, (preferably homemade)
1 bay leaf, preferably Turkish
Kosher salt
Pinch saffron threads
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 Spanish chorizo sausages, about 3/4 pound, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large red bell pepper, finely diced
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 small bunch kale, about 3/4 pound, tough stems removed, washed well, and coarsely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Sherry vinegar, to taste

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large pot or soup kettle. Pour in 8 cups of the stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and add the bay leaf and a pinch of salt. Cook, partially covered, stirring often and adjusting the heat to keep it at a slow steady simmer, until the beans are tender, about 2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
  • Soak the saffron in the remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate. Add the onion; reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the red pepper and the paprika. Cook for 2 minutes longer, then transfer the contents of the skillet to the bean pot. Stir in the saffron with the soaking liquid, the chorizo, and the kale. Bring back to a simmer and cook just until the kale is wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the vinegar, and serve hot in warmed soup bowls.

Tips:

  • For a creamier soup, blend a cup of the soup until smooth and then stir it back in.
  • To add a bit of spice, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • For a smoky flavor, roast the garlic and onions before adding them to the soup.
  • If you don't have any white beans, you can substitute another type of bean, such as cannellini beans or chickpeas.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This kale and white bean soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with nutritious vegetables and beans, and it is also very easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
