Yes you heard me correctly it’s Stoup and not a typo LOL….I thought it was too don’t worry! “Stoup” is thicker than soup and thinner than stew.” I was looking for a soup that had Broccoli Rabe in it since I have never cooked with it or even ate it for that matter and I came across a great Rachael Ray Recipe!! Can’t wait to try it!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds broccoli rabe, 1 large bunch, trimmed and cut into large bite-sized pieces
- Salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, 1 minced, 3 chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 can white beans, cannellini
- Black pepper
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 2 cups beef or vegetable stock
- 1/3 pound orecchiette, little ear shaped pasta, or ditalini
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs, a couple of handfuls
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano or Romano, a generous handful, plus some to pass at table
- 2 to 3 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- Crusty bread, for mopping
Directions:
Bring a couple of inches of water to a boil in a medium skillet. Add salt to boiling water and the broccoli rabe and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Drain rabe and reserve.
While rabe cooks, heat a medium soup pot over medium to medium high heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Add 3 cloves chopped garlic, carrots and onions. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, add white beans and heat through, a minute. Season veggies and beans with salt and pepper. Add drained rabe and the stocks and cover pot to bring to a quick boil. Add orecchiette and stir. Reduce heat and simmer soup to a low-roll, uncovered.
Mix ground turkey with egg, remaining clove minced garlic, bread crumbs, cheese, sage and salt and pepper. Roll into 1-inch balls and drop into stoup. Cook 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings and serve stoup in shallow bowls with crusty bread.
