    Source of Recipe

    Emeril Lagasse

    List of Ingredients

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 cup diced bacon
    11/2 cups chopped yellow onions
    1/4 cup chopped green bell peppers
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    4 bay leaves
    8 ounces andouille, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
    1 small (5 to 6 ounce) smoked ham hock
    2 cups dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight
    1 tablespoon Essence
    2 quarts chicken stock
    1 teaspoon salt
    3 tablespoons chopped parsley
    3 tablespoons Sherry
    1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain white rice, warm
    6 tablespoons chopped green onions

    Recipe

    Heat the oil in a large heavy pot over high heat. Add the bacon and saute for 2 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic, bay leaves, andouille, and ham hock and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the beans and cook for 2 minutes. Add the Essence and stock, stir well, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 1 1/2 hours, until beans are tender, stirring occasionally. Add the salt and parsley, cover the pot, and cook for 15 minutes. Discard the ham hock and bay leaves. Remove 1 cup of beans from the pot and reserve.
    With a hand-held immersion blender, or in batches in a food processor, puree the red beans. Add the Sherry and reserved beans, and stir well. To serve, ladle a generous cup of the soup into each of 6 bowls. Top each serving with 1/4 cup of the rice and 1 tablespoon of green onions.
