Sweet Corn Bean Soup With Collard Greens Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add collard greens, salt and cayenne; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until greens are tender. Add peas, tomatoes and lemon juice; heat through. Sprinkle servings with cheese.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons oil or bacon fat. Add ham and cook until beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer ham to a bowl.
• Raise heat to medium-high and add remaining 2 tablespoons oil or fat to the pan. Add onion, celery, jalapeño peppers, bell pepper, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper; cook until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. (Add a little water, if necessary, to prevent burning on the bottom of the pot.) Stir in garlic and cook another 2 minutes.
• Add stock, beans, collard greens, reserved ham and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, party cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add parsley, vinegar and more salt to taste. Serve topped with hot sauce and sour cream if you like.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion and salt and cook until the onion is almost translucent, about 8 minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and red pepper flakes and sauté until the onions are coated with the paste and begin to wilt, about 5 minutes.
• Add the water, corn, and drained soaked beans and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and cook, partially covered, at a low simmer until the beans and corn are almost tender, 45 minutes to 1½ hours depending on the age and type of your beans. If necessary add more water ½ cup at a time while the soup cooks.
• Add the collard greens, bring the soup back to a boil, and then simmer, partially covered, until the greens are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Serve hot, passing red pepper flakes at the table.

Steps:

• Place bean mixture into a large bowl and cover with water by a couple of inches. Soak 8 hours or overnight. Alternately, put them in a pot and cover with water by a couple of inches. Bring to a rapid boil for 3 minutes. Cover, turn off heat and let sit for one hour. Drain water and rinse.
• Place soaked bean mixture in a large pot or Dutch oven with 1 quart of the water, the pork hocks, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil, cover partially. Reduce to a simmer and let cook until beans are just tender, 1-1½ hours. If using lentils, they will mostly disintegrate and thicken into the liquid. If soup seems too thick, add some more of the water.
• Add onion, celery, garlic, and paprika to the pot. Stir in, then continue to simmer very gently for another 15 minutes. Stir in greens and continue cooking another 5-10 minutes.
• Turn off the heat. Fish out the hocks with a long pair of tongs or a skimmer. Go ahead and remove the thyme stalks and bay leaves while you're at it and discard them. Set aside the hocks for a few minutes, until cool enough to handle. Pick the meat from the bones and add the meat back to the pot.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the vinegar. Serve!

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight in cold water to cover in a large saucepan. When you are ready to cook the beans, add the onion and other vegetables, the herb bouquet, allspice, mace, garlic and chili. Simmer gently for an hour to an hour and a half, adding salt and pepper after a half hour's cooking.
• Remove the herb bouquet from the soup and the cloves from the onion. Then puree the soup in a food processor, doing it in batches. Return the puree to the saucepan, bring the puree to a boil and correct the seasoning. Add the greens and heat them through until they are wilted.
• To serve, pour the soup into heated individual bowls. If you so desire, each serving can be garnished with a dollop of creme fraiche along with a lemon slice and a teaspoon of dark rum.
