BLACK BEAN AND TOMATO SOUP



Black Bean and Tomato Soup image

This is a modified version of a recipe that I found on another site. Either canned or cooked black beans can be used. This soup freezes well and I usually double or triple the recipe to have enough to freeze for later.

TOMATO AND WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH LOTS OF GARLIC



Tomato and White Bean Soup With Lots of Garlic image

This recipe makes the most out of just a handful of pantry ingredients, like canned white beans, a can of tomatoes and a full head of garlic. The soup owes its surprisingly rich and complex flavor to how the garlic is cooked: By smashing the cloves, you end up with different sizes and pieces of garlic. These cook irregularly, which means you'll taste the full range of garlic's flavors, from sweet and nutty to almost a little spicy. Simmer the lightly browned garlic with white beans and tomatoes, then blend, and you have a creamy, cozy soup that's endlessly adaptable: Add aromatics to the simmering pot, or make it spicy with harissa, smoked paprika or chipotle. Top with pesto, croutons, cheese, cooked grains, greens or a fried egg.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 garlic cloves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 (14-ounce) cans white beans, such as cannellini or great Northern, including their liquid
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup stock or water, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
Heavy cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Peel the garlic, then smash the cloves using a meat pounder or the bottom of a heavy skillet until wispy and flat.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil, then add the crushed garlic, and cook, smashing with the back of a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until golden brown and beginning to stick to the bottom of the pan, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the white beans and their liquid, crushed tomatoes, stock or water, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then partly cover, reduce heat, and let simmer until thickened and fragrant, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Using an immersion or regular blender, purée the soup until smooth. Add cream or stock or water to thin as desired. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle with heavy cream before serving.

QUICK TOMATO, WHITE BEAN AND KALE SOUP



Quick Tomato, White Bean and Kale Soup image

A hearty bean soup does not always require hours on the stove. Using the canned variety cuts the cook time down drastically for this colorful recipe, which takes no more than an hour start to finish. You can save even more time by tackling some prep while starting to sauté the soup.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

6 cups water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon oregano
1 medium Yukon gold potato (about 6 ounces), diced

1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
Freshly ground pepper
Grated Parmesan for serving

Steps:

TOMATO AND BEAN SOUP



Tomato and Bean Soup image

Tomato and Cannellini Bean Soup with Garlic and Basil image

With a chock-full of bright vegetables, bacon, fish and beans, this homemade soup has all the right stuff.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 1h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 slices pancetta or bacon, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 medium carrot, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 medium stalk celery, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 quarts chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini beans, drained
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 good-quality anchovy fillets (packed in oil or salt, bone removed if necessary), finely chopped
1 piece (2 inches) Parmesan cheese rind
2 dried bay leaves
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Dash of freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces

Steps:

  • In 8-inch skillet, heat unpeeled garlic over low heat (you are dry-roasting the garlic, so there is no need for oil) 25 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until peel is light brown and clove feels soft inside when you touch it. (Don't rush the process by turning up the heat; garlic may burn and become bitter.) Remove garlic from skillet; set garlic aside.
  • In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly crisp around edges. Add onion, carrot and celery. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but do not brown. Add finely chopped garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add broth, water, beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, anchovies, the cheese rind, bay leaves and rosemary; heat to boiling. (When you've used a piece of Parmesan cheese, save the rind in the freezer. If you don't have a rind, you may want to sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.) Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Peel cooled, roasted garlic cloves and place in small bowl. Add butter, salt, red pepper and pepper. Use a fork to mash garlic to a smooth paste. Spoon garlic paste into hot soup and stir well to incorporate. Sprinkle with basil and stir well. Remove bay leaves and rosemary sprig.

SPICY SAUSAGE, BEAN / LENTIL, AND TOMATO SOUP



SPICY SAUSAGE, BEAN / LENTIL, AND TOMATO SOUP image

Categories     Bean

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tsp. + 2 tsp. olive oil (or more, depending on your pan)
1 onion, chopped
1 cup finely diced celery
1 T minced garlic (or less, but I like a lot of garlic in this)
1/2 tsp. hot red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried Greek or Turkish oregano (or regular oregano will work, but don't use Mexican oregano)
1 tsp. ground fennel seed (optional, but this really adds to the flavor)
5 links (19.5 oz.) hot turkey Italian Sausage
8 cups chicken stock
3 cans petite dice tomatoes with juice (14.5 oz. can)
1 1/2 cups dried brown lentils or small beans
2 dried bay leaves
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tsp. olive oil, add chopped onion and celery and saute until it's just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute 1 minute more, then add red pepper flakes, dried thyme, dried oregano, and ground fennel seed and saute 1 minute more. Cook beans / lentils separately with combo of water and chicken broth. When tender add onions. Add the rest of the chicken stock, diced tomatoes and juice, and bay leaves to the soup pot. Heat soup until it's barely boiling, then reduce heat. Add 2 tsp. more olive oil to pan that had onions, squeeze turkey sausage out of casings and saute until the sausage is nicely browned, breaking it apart with a metal turner as it cooks. (You may need a bit more olive oil if you don't use a non-stick pan.) Add browned sausage to soup pot, then deglaze the pan with 2 cups of the chicken stock, scraping the browned sausage bits off the bottom of the pan, and add that to soup pot. When lentils are soft, remove about 1/3 of soup mixture and use an immersion blender, food processor, or blender to puree the mixture until it's very smooth, about 2 minutes. (Be very careful with the hot soup if you use a food processor or blender.) Taste soup, season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. This soup freezes well, so you might want to make a double batch and freeze some for lunches to take to work.

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 lb bacon, diced
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups peeled chopped potatoes (recommend Yukon Gold)
6 cups peeled chopped fresh tomatoes (or canned whole tomatoes with juice)
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 (8 ounce) can white beans, drained
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cook bacon on medium heat in a large saucepan until lightly browned and fat is rendered. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon from the pan. Set on a plate lined with a paper towel.
  • Add the chopped onion to the pot, cook in the bacon fat on medium heat until soft. Add the minced garlic and cook a minute more. Add the chopped peeled potatoes and cook a few minutes more.
  • Add the tomatoes and chicken broth. Cook until potatoes are cooked through, about 20 minutes (or longer).
  • Stir in the brown sugar. Add half of the beans to the mixture. Use an immersion blender to blend about half of the soup mixture (or blend half of the soup in a standing blender and return to the pot).
  • Add bacon to the soup and the rest of the beans. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the soup.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic in a little bit of olive oil before adding them to the soup. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Add some dried herbs, such as oregano, basil, or thyme, to the soup for extra flavor.
  • If you like a spicy soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of Tabasco sauce.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, or some crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Tomato and bean soup is a delicious, hearty, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its simple ingredients and endless variations, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
