White Bean Soup with Bok Choy

[Guest guest]

White bean soup

 

I'm cooking white beans too!

As you can see, this is a pretty informal

recipe.

 

(for a very large crockpot)

1 bag white beans (2-3 cups?) soaked overnight and drained

1 tbl. salt

1 tbl. mild soy sauce

1 tbl. mild green salsa

1 tsp. chipotle Tabasco sauce

Most of a head of garlic, peeled and pressed

2 1/2 quarts water

5-8 white, red, or yellow-skinned potatoes, scrubbed and cut into

chunks

 

After beans are cooked:

1 bunch green onions (scallions), trimmed and chopped

1 bunch bok choy

2 tsp. lime juice, to taste

pepper, to taste

more salt, to taste (probably about 1 tsp.)

 

Place beans with the first group of seasonings into

a very large (7 qt?) crockpot. Cook until the beans

are very tender. I'm at high altitude, so that's all day on

high for me.

 

Shortly before serving, add chopped bok choy and green onions;

let cook until bok choy is just tender (it cooks quickly).

Adjust seasonings to taste with lime juice, pepper, and salt.

 

The seasonings (other than the garlic) are really pretty optional;

these are things I tend to have on hand. Use your imagination.

The potatoes are also optional, but I have a potato fan in the family.
