Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I made this soup yesterday, when we were cleaning out the back room where my pantry shelves are, and I realized I had like 20+ bags of beans! I got my empty mason jars out, and made up quart size jars of bean mixes. I decided to use some of it to make soup to have on hand. Here's what I did: I took three cups of beans, added four quarts of water, and put the beans on to boil. It took a while for the beans to soften--they weren't the freshest, I guess. Once the beans were mostly cooked, I dumped in a large can of diced tomatoes, juice and all. I added a little bit of garlic powder, onion powder, three sodium free all natural vegetarian bouillon cubes, and a few dashes of white pepper and tabasco sauce. I like things with a little " zip " to them! I threw in a bag of frozen chopped spinach, and brought the pot to a boil again, then turned it down to simmer. I did not time anything, as I was really busy yesterday. After it simmered for a while, I tested it--delicious! You can, of course, vary the spices, vegetables, or add in leftover veggies, brown rice, or pasta when you reheat the soup to serve. I had several quarts of soup to store in my freezer, and I'm happy! Thought I'd share.
