RED BEANS SOUP FIT FOR A PARTY Red beans and rice is one of the signature dishes of New Orleans, which explains why Louis Armstrong, perhaps the city's best-known ambassador, used to sign off his letters, "Red beans and ricely yours..." With Mardi Gras upon us, we wanted to turn this classic dish into a hearty (and healthy) soup fit for a Mardi Gras party. If you like a SPICY soup, this one's for you. All it took to transform the standard red beans and rice into soup was the addition of celery, onion and green bell peppers (often called the "Holy Trinity" of New Orleans cuisine), a little Creole seasoning, some chicken stock, and several ounces of andouille sausage. |
