2 cups sweet onions (Chopped)

1/2 cup pinot noir wine
2 tablespoons fresh thyme (Chopped)

1 cup Italian parsley (Chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh savory (Chopped)
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
8 cups ham stock (Home Made)

Steps:

Place Borlotti beans, garlic cloves and 1-bay leaf in a bowl. Cover with water and soak over night. Rinse under cold water before using.
Pre-heat oven to 325°F.
In a Dutch oven melt butter, add olive oil and bay leaves. Add Italian sausages and brown on all sides. Remove sausages and place on a sheet pan with parchment paper. Bake Italian Sausages for 20-minutes. Hold sausages for service.
Add onions, Serrano pepper and sauté until tender. Add chopped garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes.
Add Pinot Noir Wine and reduce by half. Add Fresh Herbs, season with fine sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Add Ham Stock, Borlotti Beans and bring to a full boil. Cover the beans, reduce to a simmer for 1-hour or until Borlotti Beans are tender. Stir the pot several times to prevent beans from burning.

Season the beans with fine sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste. Serve in warm soup bowls.
