Bean & Sausage Soup

 

Soffrito

 

1 carrot

2 celery sticks

2 leeks

2 medium potatoes

3 cloves garlic(or to taste)

 

Chop all into small pieces and fry in a small amount of olive oil to soften.

 

Add

 

1 500ml jar passata + half that volume of water (rinse the jar out with this) and two bay leaves

 

Simmer for about 30 minutes.

 

Add

 

Sliced smoked Polish or other continental smoked sausage (Matteson’s Smoked Sausage will do, I suppose) amount to suit – about 200g and two 400g cans of beans (pinto, cannellini, black eye, kidney etc. NOT butter beans (they break up too easily), chickpeas (too hard) or baked beans.

Fried smoked bacon or pancetta can be used instead of the sausage if preferred.

 

Simmer for about 30 minutes and season with salt, pepper and sugar. I found the sugar necessary to counteract the acidity imparted by the passata. Depending on the brand, sugar may not be necessary.
