By:  Sissor

 Rss Feed
Serves: 6
Degree of difficulty: easy
Description: A Great White Bean Soup with Sage and some bacon!
Total time to cook    1   hours
Ingredients
1/4 lbs chopped bacon
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
2 medium Zucchini
4 cups Water
2 cans Canned Great Northen Beans
2-3 tbs Olive Oil
2 medium sized Carrots
1 chopped Onion
1 chopped Leek
5-6 minced Garlic
1/3 cup chopped Fresh Sage Leaves
1 Bay Leaf
Directions:

Pre chop all the veggies and the sage. Using a mandolin helps. Cut the zucchini in halfs and then thinnly slice using the mandolin. Or just cut thin slices. The Zucchini will be added at the end...

Heat the oil in a dutch oven (large pot with a cover) over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots, onion, leek (use most of the white part and just some of the green - not all) and garlic. Cook, stirring often for about 8 mins, or until tender. Add a tablespoon of water at a time, if it gets too dry.

 

Stir in the sage, bay leaf, beans (drained and rinsed) the 4 cups of water & bacon. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.

 

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for about 45 mins.

Remove the bay leaf.

Blend the soup in a food processor or blender. No need to blend it all, just some. Or if you have a stick blender just blend it in the pot.

 

Add the zucchini, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

 

Serve!

Ending notes: I used canned beans. Much easier and quicker than waiting over night for beans to soak! Also you can subsitute veg broth or chicken broth for the water or half it with the water. 2 cups water and 2 cups chicken/veg broth. It would make for a richer tasting soup. But would add more salt over all. This soup, should there be left overs, gets really really really good the following day! Make extra so you have left overs. It\'s worth it. When i made this recipe, I did it without the bacon, but while eating it was like, it really needs something. So experiment with how much bacon to add.

Children and teenagers who face the greatest risk of nutritional deficiencies tend to use vitamin and mineral supplements the least, researchers reported Monday.Among 10,828 US children ages 2 to 17 years old who participated in the 1999 to 2004 United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, roughly 34 percent had used vitamin and mineral supplements in the past month."We hypothesized," Dr. Ulfat Shaikh told Reuters Health, "that children who had poor diets (low vegetable intake, low milk intake, high fat intake, low fiber intake), world of warcraft goldwow power levelcheap wow goldwow power levelingwow powerlevelingbuy wow goldEverQuest 2 goldeq2 platfaced food insecurity, had less physical activity and poor access to health care, would use such supplements more.""What we found was for the most part the opposite of what we expected,"cheap ffxi gilffxi gilfinal fantasy gilMaple Story Mesosmaple story accountmaplestory MesosLOTRO Goldlord of the rings goldLOTR Golddofus kamaskamas dofus said Shaikh from University of California Davis School of Medicine, Sacramento."Other than children who were underweight (we did expect these children to use more vitamin and mineral supplements and found this to be true from the data), runescape goldrunescape powerlevelingrunescape moneyArchLord goldarchlord powerlevelingbuy ArchLord goldflyff penyabuy flyff goldflyff moneyWarhammer goldbuy warhammer goldchildren who used vitamin and mineral supplements were for the most part healthier, had more nutritious diets, greater physical activity, lower sedentary activity, lower obesity, lower food insecurity and better health care access,"wow goldworld of warcraft goldbuy wow goldcheap wow gold wow goldworld of warcraft goldwow gold kaufencheap wow goldwow goldworld of warcraft goldwow gold kaufencheap wow goldwow goldwow powow or buy wow goldchaeap wow goldwow goldbuy wow goldcheap wow golddofus kamaskamas dofusffxi gilfinal fantasy xi gilbuy ffxi gilmaple story mesosmaplestory mesosrunescape goldrunescape moneyaoc goldage of conan goldage conan goldEverQuest plateq platEverQuest goldeq2 plateverquest 2 goldflyff penyabuy flyff goldflyff moneyeve iskeve online isk.
