Ingredients
- 1 cup dry great northern beans
- 1 cup dry lima beans
- 8 oz. Cajun or spicy sausage organic preferred
- 1 carrot sliced
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 tomato peeled and finely chopped
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 medium cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon crushed mint
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Rinse beans before cooking. Soak beans quickly or overnight.
- Rinse beans, add cold water to cover the beans by about 1 inch. Bring to boil over high heat, boil for 5 minutes.
- Add sliced carrot, red bell pepper, tomato, onion, garlic, and drizzle about 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, crushed mint, thyme. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, or until beans are tender.
- Just before soup is ready, slice sausage and brown in a skillet. Add to soup and cook for another 5 minutes to incorporate the flavors. Add more salt and spices to taste.
- Serve soup while it's warm.
Notes
- To Soak The Beans
- Quick Soak - Place the beans in large saucepan with about 7 cups water. Bring to rapid boil on medium high heat, and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain soak water and rinse beans. I also prefer to peel the Lima beans (I would rather spend 10 minutes on that than have white peels floating in my soup). Overnight Soak - Place beans in large saucepan with about 7 cups water. Cover and let stand overnight, or at least 6-8 hours. Drain soak water and rinse. Again I would also peel the Lima beans as I don't like the peels from the beans floating in the soup.
- Notes and Tips
- Make the soup in a dutch oven. A heavy bottomed pan will also work. They distribute the heat more evenly and the bottom of the soup is less likely to burn.
- Finely chop all of the veggies. This soup isn't blended, so chop everything quite small so that it's easy to eat.
- Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
