Tuscan Bean Soup
I made this up (!) based on a minestrone soup and used lima beans and Fuet sausage.
I boiled the beans and set them aside in hot water for a couple of hours to soak.
Fry some chopped garlic and diced fuet on a medium high heat (the sausage will give off a fair amount of its own oil).
Add carrots and celery, season with salt and pepper. Mix in the beans.
Pour in beef stock and some tomato frito (you can get this in cans if you don't want to make it from scratch) until the beans are almost covered. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste to give the soup some body.
Leave on low heat for 2 to 3 hours.
If you like your food a little spicier, substitute the fuet for some spicy chorizo.
