Three Bean Soup is easy to make and delicious anytime of the year.

Three Bean Soup takes about 30 minutes to make. It's a quick, delicious meal.

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 ham bone that I had in the freezer when I made this soup. It's likely you won't have one on hand, but you could substitute a little ham bouillon and achieve a similar delicious flavor. My favorite soup bouillon is the Better than Bouillon brand. It's available in beef, vegetarian, and ham flavors. Maybe others, I'm not sure. It's terrific and gluten free.

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.
