As a souplover I crave soups even more when the weather is bad outside. I guess it’s the idea of holding something hot, comforting and cozy makes your moods shift to a better place. And last weekend it was storming a lot so after binging Netflix series, I got up from my couch, checked my pantry and fridge and made this soup. Boy, it did not dissapoint!
My White Bean Soup is creamy, garlicky, fragrant with herbs and packed with carrots and chicken sausages. You can leave out or replace the chicken sausages with any meat or vegan sausages. The more flavour the sausages has the tastier the soup will become. I served my soup with toasted bread and a good sprinkle of chili pepper. Try it out!
>>My Red Lentil Dal is another favourite when the weather is bad, add more water until you have a desired concistency and you have a delicious Indian spiced soup!
White Bean Soup w/ Chicken Sausages
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a small pot and sauté the onions and carrots on a medium heat. When the onions become translucent. add the garlic, thyme, Italian herbs and chili powder. Lower the heat and let this sauté for a few minutes. Then add the beans with the water (leave ⅓ behind and smash that with fork).
- When the remaining beans are smashed add that to the pot with the chicken stock. Stir well and add the sausages on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes then lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes until you have a semi thick consistency.
- In the meantime toast your bread in the oven. I like mine marinated in some olive oil, garlic powder and salt & pepper. Also finely chop your parsley.
- When the soup is ready, serve with (toasted) bread, garnish with parsley and enjoy!If you make my recipes please tag me in them and use #thespicedchickpearecipes. I'd love to see what you've made!
