Ingredients
- 3 large beets about 1 ½ lbs, chopped
- 1 medium carrot chopped
- 1/2 lb Italian sausage
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 15 oz can Northern beans drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream optional
Instructions
- Add beets and carrot to a blender or food processor and process until finely ground. Set aside.
- Brown sausage and onions over medium-high heat in a large heavy bottom pot. Add ground beets and carrots and sauté for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken broth, thyme, and beans. Reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat, remove thyme, and season to taste. Top with sour cream if using. Enjoy.
Notes
- If you can, make the soup in a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven. It will distribute heat more evenly and the bottom is less likely to catch.
- I use the blender to grind my beets and carrots so it has a similar texture to the Italian sausage. You can skip this step and finely chop the beets and carrots or grate them on the side of a box grater.
- You can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth in this recipe.
- If storing, let the soup cool completely before placing in a container.
