White Bean And Tomatillo Soup 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:

• Place the black beans in a medium saucepan with 4 cups of the water and bring to a boil. Place the white beans in another medium saucepan with remaining 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until both pots of beans are soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat.
• In another large saucepan, saute 2 slices of the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, saving grease in pan. Add 1/2 of the diced onions and all of the carrots and cook over medium low heat until onions are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Then add 1/2 of the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, stirring constantly, until the garlic aroma is released, 12 minutes. Stir in the black beans and their liquid, along with the tomato, 1 bay leaf and 1 chipotle chile. Pour in 3 cups of the vegetable stock. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, an additional 30 minutes.
• Repeat the entire procedure with the white beans, using the remaining bacon, onion, garlic, salt, bay leaf, chipotle chile and stock.
• Remove bay leaves and transfer black bean mixture to a blender in batches and puree until smooth, pulsing the machine on and off until it begins to liquefy. (Be sure to leave space for the air to escape). Return to a clean saucepan. Rinse out blender and repeat with white bean mixture.
• Reheat soups over low heat, squeeze half of a lime into each and 1/4 cup of Madeira into saucepans and stir to blend. Adjust seasoning.
• Using two ladles, carefully ladle the two soups side by side into one bowl, so that half is black and half is white. Garnish with Tomatillo Salsa.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, 3 garlic cloves and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add all but 1/2 cup of the chopped tomatoes, the beans, broth, 1 cup water, the rosemary sprig, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 garlic cloves in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5 minutes. Toss with the bread, chopped rosemary, mozzarella and a pinch each of salt and red pepper flakes on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the croutons are golden, 10 minutes. Top each bowl of soup with the croutons and the reserved 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes; drizzle with olive oil.

Steps:

• Peel the garlic, then smash the cloves using a meat pounder or the bottom of a heavy skillet until wispy and flat.
