A hot soup is often a »life saver« during the cold season. It won’t thaw frozen feet, but it warms you up nicely from the inside, right? ;P This White Beans, Potato & Chorizo Soup can also be prepared on warmer days… actually all year round if you fancy potatoes, bean and spicy Spanish sausage. This soup tastes great all 365 days of the year ;)
Saying that… even though I am showing you a delicious soup recipe – I am not really a big fan of soups. Maybe I should explain a bit more. I’m not a big fan of clear soups or those creamy soups with nothing floating in them. Plain chicken soup, creamy mushroom soup, tomato soup… all tasty but also a bit boring to be honest. I need something to bite into when I eat ;P
This means my soups are (almost always) packed with all kinds of things. You can probably tell from this one here, can’t you? A lot of veggies, beans or chickpeas, sausages – that makes me happy. I like my soup to be really packed with all these things. A little less liquid and they would basically pass for a stew I guess. Did I already mention I looooove stews? ;P
A simple soup like this one here is easy to prepare. If you use from a can instead of cooking dried beans in advance, you are done in less than an hour. That might still sound a lot, but the work you have to put in is minimal… most of the time the soup is just bubbling and doing the job alone. I’d say it’s a perfect weeknight dinner recipe you can easily prepare after work.
If you want to do even less after work I recommend preparing a soup like this on the weekend. You can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze it for several weeks. Every time you fancy a hot soup you can simply defrost some and enjoy it in only a few minutes – the microwave is your best helper here ;P
I got a few other soup and stew recipes on the blog. For example, a delicious (loaded) Lasagna Soup with Spinach or a classic German Stew with peas, potatoes, and cured pork. Soooo delicious!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
(4 servings)
some olive oil for frying
1 large onion, chopped
12.3 oz. (350g) grilling chorizo
2 medium carrots, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1/4 cup (60ml) dry white wine
4 1/4 cups (1l) vegetable broth
17.6 oz. (500g) white jumbo beans, cooked
17.6 oz. (500g) potatoes, chopped
1 tsp. paprika powder
salt, pepper
some fresh parsley, chopped
(4 Portionen)
etwas Olivenöl zum Anbraten
1 große Zwiebel, gewürfelt
350g Grill-Chorizo
2 mittelgroße Karotten, gewürfelt
3-4 Knoblauchzehen, fein gehackt
1 EL Tomatenmark
60ml trockener Weißwein
1l Gemüsebrühe
500g weiße Riesenbohnen, gekocht
500g Kartoffeln, gewürfelt
1 TL Paprikapulver
Salz, Pfeffer
etwas frische Petersilie, gehackt
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
1. If you want to use dried white beans here you have to let them soak overnight first, then cook them for about 60 minutes – you would need approx. 9 oz. (250g) of dried white jumbo beans to get the amount of cooked beans you require for the recipe. Alternatively, use cooked beans from cans.
2. Prepare the veggies by peeling and chopping the onion, garlic, and carrots, and cutting the potatoes into small dice. Set aside. Remove the chorizo from the casings and cut into small pieces or crumble (if the sausage is very soft). Set aside.
3. Heat up a large pot or Dutch oven with some olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and glossy. Add the chorizo and fry until slightly browned – takes about 4-5 Minutes. Next, add the chopped carrots and garlic and continue cooking for about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, mix well, and let cook another minute or so. Deglaze with the white wine and let cook until the wine is almost gone again. Add the veggie broth, beans, and potatoes. Season with paprika powder, some salt, and pepper, and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and let cook over medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are done. If your chorizo is very fatty you might end up with a lot of fat collecting on the surface of the soup – remove with a spoon if you don’t like that. When the soup is done use an immersion blender or potato masher to mash/purée some of the potatoes and beans – just a few to get a creamier soup. Serve immediately, sprinkled with some chopped parsley (optional).
1. Wer getrocknete weiße Bohnen verwenden möchte, sollte sie zunächst über Nacht in reichlich Wasser einweichen und dann etwa 60 Minuten kochen lassen. Mit etwa 250g getrockneten Bohnen sollte man die im Rezept angegebene Menge erhalten. Alternativ kann man natürlich auch Bohnen aus der Dose oder dem Glas verwenden.
2. Das Gemüse schälen, Zwiebel, Knoblauch und Karotten hacken, die Kartoffeln in kleine Würfel schneiden. Alles zur Seite stellen. Die Würste aus den Därmen lösen und in kleine Stücke schneiden oder zerdrücken (je nachdem wie fest die Würste sind). Zur Seite stellen.
3. Einen großen (gusseisernen) Topf mit etwas Olivenöl erhitzen. Gehackte Zwiebel dazugeben und anschwitzen. Chorizo dazugeben und so lange anbraten, bis sie etwas Farbe bekommen hat – dauert etwa 4-5 Minuten. Karotten und Knoblauch dazugeben und etwa 2 Minuten mit anbraten. Das Tomatenmark dazugeben, alles gut vermengen und eine weitere Minute anbraten lassen. Mit Weißwein ablöschen und die Flüssigkeit weitestgehend einkochen lassen. Gemüsebrühe, Bohnen und Kartoffeln zum Topf dazugeben. Mit Paprikapulver, Salz und Pfeffer würzen und alles zum Kochen bringen. Die Hitzezufuhr reduzieren und dann etwa 20-25 Minuten köcheln lassen, bis die Kartoffeln gar sind. Falls die Chorizo sehr fettig war, kann sich einiges davon auf der Oberfläche der Suppe ansammeln – wer das nicht mag, kann das einfach mit einem Löffel abschöpfen. Wenn die Kartoffeln gar sind, mit einem Pürierstab oder Kartoffelstampfer einen Teil der Kartoffeln und Bohnen zerdrücken bzw. pürieren – es braucht nur ein wenig, damit die Suppe etwas cremiger wird. Mit etwas gehackter Petersilie (optional) servieren.
