I've talked about how I'm on my way to soon becoming Ms. Bean! One of the things that I made recently was this: Bean Cutlets. I had some mixed beans leftover from this exercise and decided to try out this soup. It tasted more like a not-so-spicy Indian bean dish than a soup. But we had it with some toast and it felt like a full meal for S and like a soup for me!
1 1/2 cups Mixed Beans, soaked and cooked
1 tbsp Oil
1 Onion, sliced
1/2 cup Potato, diced
1 Carrot, chopped
1 tsp Green Chilli Paste
1 tsp Garlic Paste
1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
1 tsp Chilli Powder
3 cups Water
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a pan. add the onion, potato and carrot and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the chilli and garlic pastes and cook for another minute. Add the coriander powder, chilli powder and the water. Bring this mixture to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Stir in the mixed beans and season with salt and pepper.
My beans were mashed earlier and I think this soup is likely to taste much better with the cooked beans left whole.

'COurse it's a full meal!! You have 4 different food groups, and it's high in complex carbs and protein. I make this with several beans thrown in almost randomly.

The ingredients to your mixed bean soup makes it sound delicious, I want to try it but I have so little time on my hands nowadays.
It does look a bit like chick pea subzi.:)
Chickpeas are my favourite bean and what's in a name anyways?
