SOUTHWESTERN PINTO BEAN SOUP
Steps:
- In a bowl soak beans in water to cover by 2 inches overnight or quick-soak (procedure follows) and drain.
- In a heavy kettle sauté onions and garlic in oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until pale golden. Add bell peppers and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened. Add chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add drained beans and the 6 cups water and simmer, covered partially, until tender, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
- While soup is simmering, in a skillet brown chorizo, in batches if necessary, over moderately high heat and transfer to paper towels to drain. Add chorizo to soup with tomatoes, broth, enchilada sauce, and salt to taste and simmer, covered partially and stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Soup may be made 4 days ahead (cool uncovered before chilling covered).
- Just before serving, stir in lime juice and coriander.
- To quick-soak dried beans:
- In a large saucepan combine dried beans, picked over and rinsed, with triple their volume of cold water. Bring the water to a boil and cook beans, uncovered, over moderate heat 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let beans soak 1 hour.
Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight will help to reduce the cooking time and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute and then letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good vegetables to use include onions, carrots, celery, garlic, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
- Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the beans until they are just tender, about 1 hour.
- Add the sausage at the end of the cooking time: This will help to prevent the sausage from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of hot sauce or vinegar for a little extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Pinto bean and sausage soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively inexpensive and easy soup to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
