Ingredients
1tbs olive oil
1 kielbasa sausage, diced into 1-inch pieces
1 cup white onion, diced
1 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 cup orange bell pepper, diced
2 tbs minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
4 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 15 oz can Great Northern white beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbs chopped parsley
Recipe
- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and then add the chopped sausage pieces.
- Sauté for a couple minutes and then add in the onion, peppers and garlic.
- Add salt and pepper, stir and continue cooking until the onions and peppers soften, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the flour to the mixture and stir to coat. Stir for a couple minutes until the flour begins to brown and smell a little toasty.
- Slowly add the milk and stir until it smooths. It’ll begin to bubble and thicken. Continue to stir.
- Add in Worcestershire sauce and beans.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 15 minutes until the beans are cooked and the flavors are perfectly married together.
- Serve warm. Enjoy!
Do you remember the ham and bean soup that was really popular growing up? This soup is a play on that and with some veggies added, it’s healthy-ish and filling. It’s creamy and so comforting. You can use whatever veggies you have in your fridge. I used onion, red and orange bell peppers, garlic and zucchini. This 30-minute dinner works great for meal prepping.
White beans are packed with nutrients, especially fiber and protein. You could remove the kielbasa sausage and make this a vegetarian dish and it be just as filling. The power of a white bean!
