Time 10h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

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.

This soup is not worth the effort. There are much better recipes out there.

This soup is way too expensive. I could have made a better soup for half the price.

This soup was a waste of time. It was bland and flavorless.

I wasn't a fan of this soup. The lamb was a bit tough and the white beans were bland.

This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of lamb broth. The soup was still delicious!

I made this soup with ground lamb instead of lamb stew meat. It turned out great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I always have some leftover lamb after Easter, and this soup is the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this soup. The lamb was cooked perfectly and the white beans helped to balance out the flavor.

This soup is so easy to make and it's perfect for a weeknight meal. I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in my slow cooker and dinner is ready when I get home.
