Tuscan Sausage, Cannellini Bean & Cavolo Nero Soup
Method
Searing the Sausage: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and brown the sausage slices for 3–4 minutes until golden; transfer to the soup maker jug.
Layering Ingredients: Add the diced onion, carrot, garlic, tomato purée, oregano, drained cannellini beans, and chopped cavolo nero to the jug, then pour over the stock up to the fill line.
Cooking Cycle: Secure the lid and select the Chunky Soup program (approx. 25–28 minutes) to gently simmer the broth without blending.
Finishing & Seasoning: Once the cycle completes, carefully remove the lid, season to taste with salt and black pepper, and stir gently before serving hot.
Cooking Hack: Searing the sausages beforehand locks in juices and builds deep savory notes, while using gut-friendly, low-GI cannellini beans provides natural thickness and sustained satiety without adding excess starch. 97.High-Protein Lentil, Beef & Root Vegetable Stew-Soup Servings: 4 Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 28 minutes Ingredients 200g lean braising beef, trimmed and finely diced (approx. 1cm cubes) 100g brown lentils, rinsed thoroughly 1 medium carrot (approx. 80g), finely diced 80g swede, peeled and finely diced 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped 1 tbsp tomato purée 1 tsp dried thyme 650ml rich, low-sodium beef stock (warm) Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped for garnish Instructions Prepare Ingredients: Dice the beef, carrot, swede, and onion into small, uniform 1cm pieces to guarantee complete, even cooking during the appliance cycle.
