Red spicy bean soup

Ingredients for 8 servings:

• 1 can brown beans
• 1 can white beans
• 650 g potatoes
• 1 package of soup vegetables
• 1 tbsp, heaped tomato paste
• 1 tbsp, heaped Ajvar, fiery
• 400 g smoked pork neck
• 8 sausages of your choice
• 1 liter of broth
• 1 tsp salt and pepper, coarsely ground
• 2 onions

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

Peel the potatoes, cut them into small cubes, and add them to the pot with both types of beans. Add half of the broth. Cut the soup vegetables into small cubes and stir them in along with the tomato paste and ajvar. Heat the stove over medium heat. Briefly fry the sausages (I used fresh bratwurst) in a pan with olive oil. Cut the smoked pork into large, approximately 2-4 cm pieces and fry them all over along with the two chopped onions. Then add all the sausages, the smoked pork pieces, and the onions to the now hot soup. Season to taste with a teaspoon of fine salt (or coarsely ground fresh) and freshly ground black pepper, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Add broth occasionally, as needed and to achieve the desired consistency. Serve with fresh baguette.
