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.

MAMA SHAW'S SPANISH BEAN SOUP - AS BEST AS I CAN



MAMA SHAW'S SPANISH BEAN SOUP - AS BEST AS I CAN image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Ham

Yield 30+ bowls

Number Of Ingredients 9

Bell Pepper - medium to large
Onion - 4 small or medium
Garbanzo beans - 4 or 5 large cans (29 oz?)
Choizo - Goya 3.5 oz pack - 3 each
Potatoes - White or Yellow - 5 - 7 lbs
Ham bone - 1 large, maybe 2
Vigo seasoning packet - 3
oregano - 2 or 3 tsp
Whole tomatoes - 15 oz can - 1 each

Steps:

  • Peel, cut into desired size pieces and cook the potatoes, set aside Dice the onions and green pepper and saute in olive oil I added one pack of the Vigo seasoning packets here slice or dice chorizo (I took the paper off the outside before slicing mine) and add to the onion and pepper When the onion and pepper have softened, add the ham bone(s) with some water and simmer for a few minutes - keep it below a boil add the two remaining packets of Vigo seasoning and one tsp of oregano add the beans (I drained them) add enough water to cover simmer for 15 or 20 minutes add the potatoes add the remaining oregano I cut up the canned tomatoes because I don't like big chunks of tomato... add undrained tomatoes Simmer until it's done to your liking. If it thickens, you can add more water to thin it out. As I said, my Uncle George uses a potato masher or a stick blender to puree some of the beans and potatoes. The last time I made it, I didn't do that, but with the amount of beans and potatoes, it came out very thick.

Tips:

  • Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned beans. If you use dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
  • Sauté your vegetables: Sautéing your vegetables in a little olive oil before adding them to the soup will help to develop their flavor.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on the type of soup you're making.
  • Season your soup to taste: Be sure to taste your soup as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
  • Let your soup simmer: Simmering your soup for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more flavorful.
  • Garnish your soup before serving: A simple garnish like a sprinkle of chopped parsley or a dollop of sour cream can help to make your soup more visually appealing.

Conclusion:

Spanish bean soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile soup, so you can easily customize it to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of Spanish bean soup that your family and friends will love.
