Course: Main Course
Servings: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 can butter beans half drained
  • 2 shallots finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 2 fat garlic cloves minced
  • 100 g kale stalks removed and finely chopped (add more kale if you want an even heartier soup)
  • ½ chili pepper finely diced (I used a lovely green jalapeno)
  • 250 g smoked sausage thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 ltr of chicken or vegetable stock preferably homemade
  • ½-1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 25 g parsley finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  • Saute the sausage meat and shallots in extra virgin olive oil on medium heat for approx. 4 minutes then add the red bell pepper and pan fry for a further 2 minutes. Next, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute or until soft but not brown. Add the rest of the ingredients except the parsley and vinegar.
  • Loosely cover with lid and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat slightly and gently simmer for approx. 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the vinegar and parsley. This will help brighten and balance the flavor.
  • Garnish with dill or parsley, dried chili flakes and plenty of sourcream. Serve with crusty bread and butter.
