WHITE BEAN AND SAUSAGE SOUP



White Bean and Sausage Soup image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 cup jarred sliced roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Two 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 cups chopped kale
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Fresh Parmesan cheese, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in an 8-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage, breaking it into bite-size chunks as it cooks, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to allow excess oil to drain off.
  • Add the peppers, oregano, rosemary, garlic and onions to the pot. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, beans and tomatoes. Return the sausage to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the kale, heavy cream and apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
  • To freeze, transfer the soup to containers with airtight lids, leaving space at the top as it will expand as it freezes. Allow the soup to cool completely before placing the lids on and freezing. Reheat until hot before serving and garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Smoked Sausage And White Bean Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 11h25m

Yield about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dried navy beans, rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound smoked pork sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups chopped onions
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
8 cups chicken stock
3 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Loaf of crusty bread, for garnish

Steps:

  • Soak beans in cold water to cover, overnight (8 to12 hours). Drain beans and rinse well.
  • In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and reserve. Add the onions and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, an additional minute.
  • Add the browned sausage back to the stockpot. Stir in the beans, bay leaves, and thyme. Add the chicken stock, water, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Bring soup to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer and cook, partially covered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Skim off any fat, as necessary, if desired. (The cook time may vary depending on the beans, but they should be tender and falling apart when finished.)

Using a potato masher or the flat side of a spoon, gently mash the beans against the bottom and sides of the stockpot, leaving some of the beans whole and some mashed. Continue to simmer the soup for 30 minutes, uncovered, or until desired consistency.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve hot, with crusty bread slices.

Provided by Bev Weidner

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 Italian chicken sausages (about 12 ounces total), sliced on the bias 1/4-inch thick
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One large Parmesan rind (about 2 1/2 ounces) plus freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
Two 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed well

SAUSAGE AND BEAN SOUP



Sausage and Bean Soup image

There are American, Hungarian, French, Portuguese, African and Scandinavian variations of the story of Stone Soup--a parable that teaches how each of us can contribute a little to the whole, which then becomes something much greater than the sum of its parts. So many different cultures telling a similar story of neighborliness and gathering around a pot of soup is a lesson in and of itself. Think of all the people in your community right now with whom you could share this wonderful recipe.

Provided by TimTanguay

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 pound hot Italian sausage
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
1 russet potato, cubed
5 stalks celery, diced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup red wine
1 (32 fluid ounce) container beef broth
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup uncooked rotini pasta
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the Italian sausages in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool; remove all but 1 tablespoon of grease from the pot.
  • Stir the garlic, onion, carrot, potato, and celery into the hot fat. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the onion has turned translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste until no lumps remain; pour in the red wine. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, stirring frequently to dissolve the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the beef broth, black beans, and diced tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour.
  • Cut the cooled sausage into 1/2-inch thick slices. Stir the sausage into the soup along with the rotini pasta, spinach, and dried oregano. Simmer until the pasta is tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped basil and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package (12 ounces) frozen bulk sausage, thawed and crumbled
1 medium onion, chopped
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen chopped collard greens, unthawed

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Beans: Select beans that hold their shape well during cooking, such as cannellini, kidney, or great northern beans.
  • Soak the Beans: Soaking the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking helps reduce cooking time and improves digestibility.
  • Use Good Quality Sausage: Opt for a flavorful sausage that complements the beans, such as Italian sausage, chorizo, or kielbasa.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the soup enhances their flavor and adds depth to the soup.
  • Season Well: Don't be afraid to season the soup generously with herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Simmer for Flavor: Allow the soup to simmer for at least 30 minutes to develop its flavor and allow the beans to fully soften.
  • Serve with Toppings: Serve the soup with a variety of toppings such as grated Parmesan cheese, crusty bread, or a dollop of sour cream.
