Best Bean Soup: Comfort in a bowl
When I first encountered this bean soup recipe, I wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about trying it. Beans aren’t my favorite food, but I consume them for their health benefits.
However, after tasting the soup, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it turned out to be.
I can’t pinpoint whether it’s the variety of different beans or the seasoning, but I’ve grown to love them.
So, if you’re a bit skeptical about this recipe or not a huge fan of beans, I encourage you to give it a shot—I believe you’ll be pleasantly surprised too.
The beans used in this soup come in a variety pack, but if you can’t find them, consider mixing your favorite beans and following the rest of the instructions.
Just remember to use dry beans, as canned beans may become too mushy.
Give this recipe a try and I believe it will warm your heart and soul.
