My Favorite Bean Soup
Recipe by: kat c
1 one pound pkg 15 bean mix (at my store it comes with a soup packet
of "flavor", throw that away)
Put beans on to soak, after 12 hours drain and keep them in a pot in a warm
dark place, rinse and drain 2xday for three days to sprout them. You can cook
them after soaking overnight but they won't cause intestinal gas if you sprout
them before cooking.
Chop one pound of carrots, 6 or so stalks of celery, 3-5 onions
(depending on size). I just whir it up into little bits in the food processor.
Put chopped vegetables in large pot with sprouted beans (I use pressure
cooker for 15 minutes). Add water to cover so everything swims nicely when you
stir it. Add ½ tsp white pepper and 1½ tsp curry powder (adjust
seasonings to taste - I have ones add salt, if
wanted, at the table rather than to the pot, for salt-avoiding people). Cook
until done.
Puree the soup - I use a "stick" blender right in the pot. If
you transfer it into a regular blender to puree, be careful - if soup is hot
when put into a blender it will be dangerous unless you do very small batches at
a time (ask me how I know this) This freezes well, so I make a large pot of it
and have lunches for two weeks out of it.
