Three Bean Soup is easy to make and delicious anytime of the year.
Three Bean Soup is flavorful and robust.
Sometimes you just want a simple soup, right? Three Bean Soup is the perfect option. A combination of black beans, pinto beans and black-eyed peas gives it good protein, flavor and texture. The tomatoes add beauty, depth and Vitamin C. I added a teaspoon of vegan ham flavored broth base for a delicious flavor.
When Don used to travel for work, I sometimes played the "single girl" and had oatmeal for supper. There's no need to go that far with your meals, though. You can make Three Bean Soup and Cornbread in about 40 minutes.
What You Need
You will need a knife, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, and a good soup pot or Dutch oven. Get the best you can afford and you'll never be sorry.
