SPICY SAUSAGE-KIDNEY BEAN SOUP



Spicy Sausage-Kidney Bean Soup image

The original is from Southern Living 1983 cookbook and is credited to Mrs. Frank Patton from Johnson City, Tenn. This is a favorite of ours that we often double and freeze in lunch size portions for DH. The original recipe calls for canned beans, but we process dried beans. If you don't have a pressure cooker, it will take longer, so if you're in a hurry, use the canned variety. We also tend to increase the spices and herbs and use hot sausage to increase the impact. (time does not include soaking)

Provided by OliveLover

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 cup servings, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups dried kidney beans (or 2 cans, 16 oz. each kidney beans, un-drained)
2 cups beef stock (or water, enough to cover beans by 2 inches)
1 lb bulk pork sausage
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, un-drained
1 bay leaf
1 quart beef stock (or water)
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup potato, in 1/2-inch dice

Steps:

  • Pick over dried beans and soak for at least 4 hours. If not using a pressure cooker, soak beans overnight.
  • Place beans in pressure cooker with enough beef stock or water to cover by 2 inches and process 12-15 minutes, depending on how long they've been soaked. (Feel free to add extra garlic or a bay leaf if you so desire.) Allow to come down from pressure naturally. If not using a pressure cooker, place in pot and simmer for 2-3 hours until almost tender, adding more liquid if necessary.
  • In a large Dutch oven brown sausage, stirring to crumble the meat. Drain pan drippings if desired. Add onion and garlic and saute until transparent. Add tomatoes, bay leaf, stock or water, salt, seasoned salt, thyme and beans with their liquid whether canned or processed dry. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add bell pepper and diced potato; cover and simmer 20 more minutes until potatoes are tender. Remove bay leaf before serving.

CREAMY WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH SPICY PAPRIKA OIL



Creamy White Bean Soup With Spicy Paprika Oil image

As easy as it is fast, this simple blended white bean soup relies upon cheap staples like canned beans, stock, garlic, olive oil, shallots and dried herbs. An artful drizzle of paprika oil enlivens it. While the soup simmers, toast red-pepper flakes and smoked paprika in olive oil to make a vibrant red sauce inspired by Chinese chile oil. The soup is great before blending - it's more like a stew - but purées to a creamy white. You could top the soup with sautéed quartered button mushrooms, roasted vegetables or toasted croutons, but the paprika oil provides deep flavor, and is the only garnish you truly need.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (8 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 large shallots, minced (about 2/3 cup)
4 large celery stalks, peeled and thinly sliced
5 garlic cloves, minced
3 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning or herbes de Provence
1 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds (optional)
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
3 (14-ounce) cans cannellini beans (or chickpeas), rinsed
2 cups half-and-half or almond milk
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked (hot or sweet) paprika
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Prepare the soup: In a large pot, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the shallots, celery, garlic, Italian seasoning, fennel seeds (if using) and rosemary (if using); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes, reducing the heat to medium-low if needed to avoid browning the vegetables.
  • Add the stock and rinsed beans, and bring to a boil over high. Once the mixture comes to a boil, cook over medium-high until flavors meld and stock thickens, about 15 minutes.
  • While the soup cooks, prepare the paprika oil: Heat 1/3 cup oil in a small skillet over the lowest heat on your smallest burner. Add the paprika and red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring frequently, just until toasted and flavors bloom, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain, discarding flakes, then set paprika oil aside.
  • Working in batches if needed, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth, adding half-and-half or almond milk to thin to desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide among bowls and drizzle with strained paprika oil to serve.

Categories     Beans

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb hot Italian sausage, casings removed
4 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup tomato paste
5 cups canned low sodium chicken broth
8 ounces orecchiette (or other small pasta)
1 1/2 cups grated romano cheese

Steps:

  • Strain liquid from canned beans into blender.
  • Add 1 cup beans and puree until smooth.
  • Heat oil in large pot over medium heat.
  • Add sausages, rosemary, garlic, and crushed red pepper.
  • Sauté until sausages are cooked through, breaking up with fork, about 8 minutes.
  • Mix in tomato paste.
  • Add bean puree, remaining beans, broth, and pasta.
  • Simmer until pasta is tender and mixture is thick, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix in 1/4 cup cheese.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve, passing remaining 1 1/4 cups cheese.
  • Makes 4 to 6 (main-course) servings.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for an hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans adds flavor and texture to the soup. Some good choices include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and navy beans.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans are mushy and bland. Cook the beans until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and color to the soup. Some good choices include onions, celery, carrots, and tomatoes.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful broth. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using canned broth, be sure to choose a low-sodium variety.
  • Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.

Conclusion:

Spicy bean soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of spicy bean soup that the whole family will enjoy.
