Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams brown beans (dried or canned)
- 200 grams smoked sausage
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 2 medium potato
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 liter vegetable stock
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)
- 30 grams butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 15 grams parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using dried brown beans, soak them in water overnight, then drain and rinse before use. If using canned beans, drain and rinse thoroughly.
Chop the onion, carrot, celery, and potatoes into small, even-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the brown beans, vegetable stock, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces and add them to the soup. Let them simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish the soup with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve the Dutch Brown Bean Soup warm with crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.
