“Daube-strone” Soup

I made extra sauce with Sunday’s Boeuf en daube in anticipation of doing this, an experiment very remotely inspired by minestrone. The end-result is a substantial hot bowl of flavoursome ingredients, ideal given today’s low temperature. No stock is used as the sauce is already packed with flavour.

Ingredients

40-45 minutes including prep
6-8 servings
  1. 1large knob butter
  2. 1onion chopped
  3. 1red pepper, deseeded and chopped
  4. 1red chilli, with seeds and chopped
  5. 50 gchestnut mushrooms, sliced
  6. 2carrots, diced
  7. 1/4cabbage, shredded, stalk diced
  8. 500-700g/ml sauce from my Simplified Boeuf en daube recipe
  9. 600-1,000 mlwater (use more or less to adjust the consistency to your preference)
  10. 100 gpasta, in small pieces. I used fregula but use whatever you prefer/have available
  11. Salt
  12. Ground black pepper
  13. Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Cooking Instructions

40-45 minutes including prep
  1. 1

    Heat the butter and fry the onion for 2 minutes, only stirring to avoid sticking.

  2. 2

    Add the pepper, chilli and mushrooms and fry for a further 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then stir in the carrots plus cabbage and cook for a further minute.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat the daube sauce in a large saucepan or stockpot, occasionally stirring gently but thoroughly. Add in the fried ingredients and then the water. Bring to the boil, stirring almost continuously.

  4. 4

    Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Stir in the pasta and cook for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. Check two or three times and if needed add a little more water.

  6. 6

    Season to taste and immediately serve piping hot, adding some Parmesan cheese to each bowl if wished. Note that I did not whizz this dish, preferring it chunky. Nice bread goes well with this soup but it’s so hearty in itself that you may think that unnecessary!
