Soup for Winter

This soup recipe is from Mario Batali's new cookbook America Farm to Table and it was super delish.

Sweet Pepper and White Bean Soup:

Bring 4 cups chicken stock to a boil.

In a Dutch oeven, heat olive oil and add 1 large spanish onion diced, 4 fresh sage leaves, and 1/4 pound pancetta diced.  Cook and stir 5 min til onion is slightly browned.

Mix in 2 T tomato paste, 3 seeded diced red peppers, and cook and stir 2 more min.

Add the boiling stock to the Dutch oven, return to boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 min.

Transfer in batches the mixture to a blender and puree til smooth, then pour back into pot where you heated the stock.

Add 2 15-oz drained and rinsed cannellini white beans and bring to boil then simmer and cook 5 minutes.

Season with S&P.

Ladle into bowls and serve with olive oil drizzed on top and freshly cracked pepper!

(We ate it with grilled cheese and they were a perfect pair!)
