Best White Corn And Rosemary Soup Recipes

ROSEMARY WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cover the beans with water by at least 1-inch and leave them in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight. Drain.
• In a large stockpot over low to medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook over low heat for 3 more minutes. Add the drained white beans, rosemary, chicken stock, and bay leaf. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the beans are very soft. Remove the rosemary branch and the bay leaf. Pass the soup through the coarsest blade of a food mill, or place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until coarsely pureed. Return the soup to the pot to reheat and add salt and pepper, to taste. Serve hot.

• Working in batches, process the soup in a blender or food processor until almost smooth. (I just used my hand blender and put it right in the pot).
• Reheat. (Not needed if using a hand blender).
• To serve, garnish with rosemary sprigs.

CREAMY CHICKPEA & ROSEMARY SOUP

WHITE BEAN AND ROSEMARY SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse well and drain white beans. Rinsing away the liquid around canned beans can help cut down on the amount of gas you may experience from beans.
• In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Saute while stirring lightly until vegetables are soft (5 to 10 minutes).
• Add garlic and rosemary and saute for another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add drained beans and vegetable stock.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 20 to 30 minutes.
• After simmering, place 1/3 to ½ of the bean soup in the blender.
• Carefully blend until thick and smooth. Caution: Be very careful when blending, letting steam and heat escape every few seconds, by lifting blender lid slowly throughout blending. If steam and heat build up, the lid can blow off the blender.
• Return blended soup to pot and stir to mix.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle each bowl with a little parmesan cheese.
• See above for chili variation.
• * if you do not like pureed soup, do not use the blender method just eat as cooked. I like it without the blender method.

CREAMY POTATO WITH ROSEMARY SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
• Add potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
• Add cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
• Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree (adding fresh rosemary)until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
• Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.
