8 ounces red kidney beans (2 cups after soaking)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 onions, cut into ½-inch dice
4 carrots, halved lengthwise, and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 cans (each 28 ounces) peeled Italian plum tomatoes, crushed with their juices
6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 ham hock, about 3/4 pound
3/4 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus 1 tablespoon
Salt, to taste
1/2 ripe avocado, peeled and cut into ¼-inch dice, for garnish
1. Rinse beans well. Place in a large bowl. Cover with 4 cups of cold water and let soak overnight. Drain, rinse and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a large heavy pot over low heat. Add the onions, carrots and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cook, stirring to caramelize the vegetables, for 15 minutes.
3. Add the beans, tomatoes, broth and ham hock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are just tender, about 1 hour.
4. Add the wine, allspice, and pepper, and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the lime juice and season with salt.
5. Remove ham hock. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat from the bone and add it to the soup.
6. To serve, toss the diced avocado with the remaining tablespoon of lime juice. Reheat the soup and garnish each portion with diced avocado. Serve immediately.
