White bean soup with minced meat

Ingredients for 6 servings:

• 1 small white bean (500 g, no can)
• 500 g minced meat, mixed or beef
• ½ bottle of tomato ketchup
• 1 ½ liters of water
• e.g. instant meat broth, dissolved in water
• a few sprigs of fresh parsley
• 2 m.-sized onion(s)
• salt and pepper
• Paprika powder, sweet
• possibly chili
• some oil

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

in a pressure cooker

For this recipe, the beans are not soaked. I rinse the beans in a sieve and let them drain. I cut the onions into not-too-thick slices. Now add the oil to the pressure cooker, ensuring the bottom is well covered. Once the oil is hot, sauté the onions until translucent. Then add the minced meat and fry until crumbly. Season with salt and pepper. Next, add the beans, ketchup, and meat broth. Stir everything together and close the lid. As soon as the first ring of garlic appears, reduce the heat and simmer for 50-60 minutes. I season the finished soup with sweet paprika and fresh parsley. If you like it spicier, you can also add chili. The soup can be frozen and tastes better if prepared the day before. The exact cooking time will vary depending on the type of bean.
