Bean Soup with Chorizo Sausage

Ingredients

2 navy beans, soaked in water overnight and drained

2 olive oil

4 stalks of celery

4 large carrots, peeled and sliced

1 large onion chopped

2 garlic, chopped

1

9 chicken stock or broth

2 dried thyme (crushed)

2 bay leaves

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a large soup pot over medium high heat, add the oil and sauté the celery, carrots, onion and garlic until beginning to soften, about 5-8 minutes.
  2. Add the soaked beans, sausage, stock, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, then cover and simmer until the beans are soft, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Using the back of a wooden spoon, mash some of the beans against the sides of the pot to slightly thicken the soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
