SOUP RECIPES WITH BEANS RECIPES

Steps:

• Simply rinse the beans and discard any debris, then place in the pot with 8 cups of water and soak overnight (at least 8 hours).
• Drain the water the beans were soaking in over night and add 8 cups of fresh water along with the onion and meat (if using).
• Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer covered for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Next add the tomatoes, the chili powder, lemon juice and garlic and simmer covered for another 30 minutes.
• There is a seasoning packet included with the beans, you'll want to add that one to two minutes before your cooking is complete.
• Salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Heat soup in a medium saucepan according to package directions; simmer over low heat as you prepare kale.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add kale and cook, stirring, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and crushed red pepper (if using) and cook for 30 seconds. Stir the greens and beans into the soup and simmer until the beans are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Serve topped with Parmesan.
