White Bean Soup With Andouille And Collards Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• Place tomatillos, garlic head, and poblano pepper on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add andouille sausage and cook until slightly crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove sausage to a plate.
• Add onion, celery, and carrot to the Dutch oven; cook for 5 minutes. Add cumin and chile powder; stir and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cannellini beans and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove and discard skins from tomatillos, garlic, and poblano pepper. Transfer to a food processor and blend until combined.
• Add liquified tomatillo mixture to the Dutch oven, along with chicken broth and cooked sausage. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 25 minutes.
• Ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro and jalapeno slices.

Steps:

• In a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker, combine the beans, sausage, onion, celery, and thyme. Add the broth and stir to combine.
• Cover and cook until the beans are tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours.
• Twenty minutes before serving, discard the thyme stems, add the collard greens, cover, and cook until the greens are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you are using frozen, you'll have to cook longer). Add the vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Drizzle with the olive oil and serve with bread sticks.

Steps:

• Drain the beans if you soaked them, then put them in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the ham bone, stock and onions. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily and cover partially. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very soft and any meat is falling off the bone, at least 1 hour; add more liquid as necessary so the mixture remains soupy.
• Turn off the heat; remove the bone from the pot and let cool slightly. Take all the meat off the bone, chop it, and set it aside. Mash or puree the beans, then return them to the pot along with the ham; reheat over medium heat until almost boiling.
• Add the collards, along with the garlic if you're using it, and cook until the greens are tender, about 10 minutes. Taste, adjust the seasonings, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add leeks and red-pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Cook until leeks are softened, about 6 minutes. Add sausage and thyme; cook until sausage is golden brown in places, about 5 minutes more.
• Add broth and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are heated through and creamy, about 10 minutes. Add celery and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Remove thyme; season with salt and pepper. Divide soup among 4 bowls and garnish with celery leaves.

Steps:

• Cook sausage and onion in a large saucepan over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until fat renders, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes more. (If bottom of pan starts to burn in spots, sprinkle with water and scrape up blackened bits.)
• Add collard greens, beans, and 4 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until soup is slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Adjust consistency of soup with water, if necessary. Stir in red-wine vinegar, and serve with toasted bread slices, if desired.
