This soup brings comfort to a whole new level! Creamy beans and parmesan, locally crafted sausage and of course the secret ingredient, Big Cove Foods ‘Mary Had a Lot of Lamb’ spice blend.
This soup will not disappoint.
White Bean and Sausage Soup
italian
Soup
Ingredients
- 2 local sausages (we used Little Dorset Farms)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 celery, diced
- 2 carrot, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Mary Had a Lot of Lamb spice blend
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cans white beans
- 1 large chuck of parmesan cheese, cut in 4 (rinds work great!)
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a dutch oven or large heavy bottom pot, cook the sausage on medium heat. You want to get a nice brown and mostly cooked through. Remove from heat and set the sausage aside.
- Add the butter to the pan that’s still on medium heat, do not rinse out pan – you want all those yummy bits on the bottom. Once melted, add the onions, carrots and celery. Cook until softened.
- Add the garlic and Mary Had a Lot of Lamb spice blend and cook for another minute, or until smells very delicious!
- Add the white beans to the pot, and then the stock, parmesan and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Partially cover and simmer for about 20 mins.
- Remove the bay leaf and using an immersion blender, blend a few pulses. You want to blend just enough to give it a creamy texture, but not too much that you make it into a puree. If you do not have an immersion blender, transfer half of the soup to a blender and pulse a few times, add back to the pot.
- Dice up your sausage into pieces of your choosing and add back to your soup pot. Bring to a quick boil, reduce and taste.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Enjoy!

I wasn't sure what to do with this...
I got one jar of this, and didn't know what to do with it. It was Taco Tuesday, so I decided to try to miss it while making the beef.
I would have to say that it ended up working, and I found my tacos were enhanced.

Big Cove Made It To The Caribbean!!!
My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕

Great hostess gifts!
These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)

Flavourful Blend
I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!

Found in Baddeck. Making Food taste great in Toronto
Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.

Happy It’s Back!!
We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.

This spice blend is excellent!
Purchased at the OOAK show in TO. Love this blend and made the chicken/rice dish on the site. Making it on repeat!

Best Taco Blend!
My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.
On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!

Hard to pick just one
What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
