A good bean soup can easily become a staple in your household with a few simple ingredients. The recipe below simple, vegan, and easy to time in no time (30 minutes). Soup of any kind, but especially this recipe, save well in the fridge or you can freeze it! Soups utilize your canned goods and your pantry which could help contribute to your overall food waste.
INGREDIENTS: (adjust to your liking/what you have at home)
4 15 oz canned beans (black, pinto, garbanzo, etc.)
4 15 oz canned diced tomatoes
7 oz can green chiles
1 cup water
1 diced onion
1 diced pepper (whichever you have on hand/is your favorite)
4 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper, cumin, coriander (to taste)
OPTIONAL (toppings): crackers, cheese, etc.
The proportions do not have to be exact; they can be whatever you have in your pantry and whatever veggies you may have in your fridge. Soup is flexible so feel free to mix it up. You can put multiple types of beans in one soup, mess around with the seasonings maybe add some paprika or herbs...like I said EXTREMELY flexible and customizable.
Step 1: Combine all canned goods into a pot. Add water and seasonings.
Step 2: Bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and let simmer.
Step 3: Dice onion and pepper. Sauté in a pan with garlic until the onions are translucent.
Step 4: Once translucent, add into the pot. From here you can either stop and leave the soup slightly chunky (kind of like chili) or blend the mixture with an immersion blender to get a finer texture.
Step 5: Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
