White Bean Soup
~ Mary ~
A couple of years ago I found myself with a plethora of frozen spinach, canned tomatoes and white beans - I threw them in a pot and so began our love for White Bean Soup, but not until I prepared the beans this way did the soup truly reach nirvana.
Cauliflower Soup Grilled Gazspacho
New Mexico Red Chile Posole Corn Chowder
Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup with Chicken
White Bean Soup
makes about 2 quarts
In large sauce pan over medium high heat saute:
1 large onion
2-3 Chopped Cloves Garlic
2 Cups Sliced Smoked Polish Sausage
Add:
4 Cups Canned Diced Tomatoes
4 Cups Cooked White Beans – preferably a half recipe from HERE WITH all the extra broth
3-4 Cups Chicken or Beef Broth only if you don’t have the beans and the broth from right above
Let simmer 20-30 minutes then add:
2 Cups Frozen Chopped Spinach
optional to add a little (approx 1 -2 tsp each) rosemary and basil, but really only if you put in plain white beans do you need these.
Cook until heated through then stir in
1/2 to 1 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Serve in bowls and top with Parm too
