Create a nutritious Italian soup using evaporated milk for a creamy twist.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 Italian-style sausages
  • 8 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • Large pinch of dried chilli flakes
  • 20.00 ml plain flour
  • 637.50 gm salt-reduced chicken stock
  • 400g can borlotti beans, drained, rinsed
  • 375ml can Light & Creamy Evaporated Milk
  • 4 stalks kale, centre vein discarded, leaves roughly chopped
  • 62.50 ml finely grated parmesan, plus extra to serve
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus extra to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, gently cook onion, carrot, and celery in hot oil, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Squeeze sausage mince out of casings, discard casings, and break mince into small pieces.
  • Turn up the heat to medium-high. Toss in the sausage and cook, stirring, until it changes color, about 5 minutes. Add tomato, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and chili. Cook for 1 minute before adding flour. Stir for 30 seconds until the vegetables are coated. Pour in the stock and beans, bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Combine evaporated milk and kale, generously season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until kale is lightly wilted and soup is heated. Mix in parmesan and parsley. Garnish soup with extra parmesan and parsley before serving.
