Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 6 slices prosciutto, cut in thin strips (or diced bacon)
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken stock
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cans (19 oz/540 ml) white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 6 fresh sage leaves
Preparation
In large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; cook prosciutto until crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove to paper towel-lined plate.
Add remaining oil to pan; cook shallots and garlic, stirring often, until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine, chopped sage, pepper and salt. Add beans and stock; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
In blender or food processor, purée soup, in batches, until smooth. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate, uncovered, in shallow airtight container until cold. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 week. Reheat to serve.) Return to pan and heat through. Ladle into bowls; sprinkle with reserved prosciutto. Garnish with sage leaves.
