Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
5 sprigs fresh thyme (lots)
1 sprig rosemary
6 tomatoes, diced (more if they are small)
3 cups cooked lamb, diced (left-overs)
6 cups chicken stock
salt
pepper
2 cups white beans, cooked and drained (canned cannellini or great northern)
1 fennel bulb, shaved
1/2 small red onion, shaved
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

Heat olive oil in your soup pot and add the onions, garlic, thyme and rosemary. I just add the herbs whole and pull out the stems at the end.
When the onions become soft, add the tomatoes and lamb. Cook until the tomatoes begin to break apart and then add stock (5 min.).
Season and simmer until meat is tender. This should be only about 20 minutes.
Add the beans, mashing part of them to thicken soup. Cook until hot throughout. Check seasoning.
Serve with a sprinkling of shaved fennel, red onion and chopped, fresh parsley and a drizzle of your best extra-virgin olive oil.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

½ pound dried great Northern beans, sorted and rinsed
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ¼ pounds ground lamb
3 carrots, peeled and diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 ½ cups canned roma tomatoes, with liquid
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
fresh ground black pepper
salt to taste
6 cups chicken broth
½ pound baby spinach leaves
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

Soak the dried beans in water overnight. After soaking, drain off remaining water, and rinse.
In a large stockpot, cook the onion in oil over low heat until just beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium, and add lamb; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in carrots and celery, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, and season with parsley, thyme, oregano, and with freshly ground pepper and salt to taste. Add beans and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, boil for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, for 1/1/2 hours, or until beans are tender.
Rinse spinach, and then place in a saucepan. Place over medium heat, and cook until wilted. This will only take a short time, and you will not need to add more liquid to the pan.
Top each serving of soup with wilted spinach and crumbled feta cheese.

Tips:

Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned beans. Be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
Brown the lamb: Browning the lamb adds flavor and depth to the soup. Be sure to brown it in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to the soup, the more flavorful it will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
Season the soup well: Be sure to season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

This white bean and lamb soup is a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying meal. It's perfect for a cold winter day. The beans, lamb, and vegetables are all cooked together in a savory broth, and the soup is seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. The result is a soup that is both comforting and delicious.
