Three Bean Vegetarian Soup

Lucious Three Bean Vegetarian Soup

Today is that first day of “burr winter is almost here” and the perfect day to make and savor homemade soup. I am loving it so much just had to share. The hotness from the Serrrano pepper and the sweetness from the peas made this soup o-so-good. Hopefully if you are like me, you have most of the ingredients in your kitchen now.

The key is to layer the flavors. Place the ingredients in your cooking pot in order of listing. As each cooks, add the next. The entire cooking time took me about one hour. During that time did a load of laundry, good end to my work day. Low in calories, high in nutrition, super simple to make, a great staple for all of us!

Eat right away for a garden fresh taste. Save the remainder for meals throughout your week.

My favorite canned tomatoes are from Muir Glen, Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes.

Layer the below and simmer on low for about 30 minutes.

Simmer the following, it’s so easy just go down the list. As you chop one ingredient place it is the pot to simmer, as it cooks go to the next.

  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 t salt
  • The biggest yellow onion you can find ruff chopped
