Oh, look at the result of the "no knead" bread. And yes, it is just as yummy as it looks and only has four ingredients. Flour, yeast, salt, and water.
"No knead" bread |
To recreate it you need:
- one cup of soaked, dried beans (I use a 12 dried bean mix from New Season's Market)
- splash of Olive Oil
- medium onion diced
- 2-3 carrots diced
- large can of diced tomatoes
- 32 oz of chicken or veggie broth (I use Pacific Foods)
- one small yam cut into cubes
- two medium potatoes cut into cubes
- a couple of bay leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound of bulk italian sausage (I use mild)
To prepare:
- soak the beans the night before you plan to make the soup
- in a large pot heat up the olive oil. When hot, add the onion, and carrots as well as a sprinkling of salt. Sautee until onions are soft, and carrots begin to show yellow center.
- add can of diced tomatoes, and the vegetable broth
- next add the soaked beans (drained - do not add the soaking liquid)
- then add
- Yam,
- Potatoes, and
- Bay Leaf
- Bring soup to a slow simmer and cover.
While soup is simmering
- form small meatballs from the bulk sausage, and
- carefully fry them until browned in a pan
- Let soup simmer for about an hour - while "no knead" bread is baking in the oven.
- Add salt and pepper to taste
