Vegetable Bean Soup
Healthy Protein-rich Vegetable SoupIf it’s a little cold outside, nothing is more warming and satisfying than soup. If you don’t regularly cook at home, the concept of making soup from scratch can seem a little intimidating. Truly, nothing could be easier.W hile this recipe calls for an Instant Pot or Crock Pot, if you don’t have one it’s totally fine. Further, if you don’t have the time to soak dried beans overnight, you can simply used canned, just drain the liquid from the can before adding to the soup. Start with sauteing the onions and garlic until softened and then follow the rest of the “method” below. If you are cooking on the stove top, consider cutting the sweet potato into small bite-size pieces to decrease cooking time. With small pieces of potato, the finished product shouldn’t take longer than what the Instant Pot takes, about 35 minutes. Enjoy and let us know any variations you come up with.
