Directions
Smoked Sausage and White Bean Soup, This is a Emeril recipe that is such a great comfort food. And SO good maybe even better the next day. Most suggest 5 cups of stock is PLENTY !!!! I agree, SUPER yummy! used 2 Eckridge smoked turkey sausage links, sliced did not brown
Followed recipe using 2 cans of beans > smashed some to thicken the soup, used half the cayenne and that was plenty of heat for my heat loving family. Made for a great lunch the 2nd day. Thanks for posting., Absolute best bean soup ever. Made about half, with the following things: 48 oz. jar great northerns2 T. truffle-flavored olive oil1/2 lb. hungarian sausage1 c. chopped onion3 garlic cloves1 bay leaf1.5 t. dried thyme4 c. chicken broth1/2 t. black pepper1/4 t. cayenneBrown sausage 5-6 min; remove. Soften olive couple minutes; add garlic 1 min. Add broth, spices and sausage. Bring to boil; lower heat. When simmer, add beans. Simmer 30-45 min. Smash a few of the beans before serving.I think the truffle-flavored olive oil added some nice depth, as did the Hungarian sausage.
