Ingredients | How To Prepare Chayote Squash For Soup

1 pound dried Great Northern beans

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 large bay leaves

2 quarts water

2 cubes chicken bouillon

2 pounds butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks

2 cups chopped carrots

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 ½ teaspoons salt

¾ teaspoon ground black pepper

¾ teaspoon ground white pepper

½ teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon allspice

1 (12 ounce) package pre-cooked chicken sausage, cut into bite-size pieces

Directions

Place Great Northern beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add bay leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Mix beans, water, and bouillon into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, about 1 hour.

Stir squash, carrots, celery, salt, black pepper, white pepper, ginger, and allspice into broth mixture; simmer until squash and carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.

Remove bay leaves from broth mixture and discard. Scoop 2 to 3 cups of vegetable-bean mixture using a slotted spoon from broth; blend broth and remaining vegetable-bean mixture using a hand blender until smooth. Return the vegetable-bean mixture to broth mixture and stir in sausage. Simmer soup until sausage is cooked through, 5 to 10 more minutes.
