mmmm i was thinking this week of making a white bean and sausage soup. i think now a tomato base would make it even extra yummy! :D

That's a course of action I'd encourage--earlier this week, I had occasion to redeem some azuki beans that were red, plump, and glossy on the label, and gray, mushy, and nondescript in the can. The solution proved to be a good forceful ad-libbed chili, with a tomato/chipotle bouillon base, chopped sweet onion, jalapeno and ripening green bell peppers, and some proper garbanzos thrown in for texture.

I want to live inside this bowl of soup.

That looks nommy. Can I ask what mayan onions are?

It is a sweet onion, much like the walla walla sweet onions that are grown in Washington state.

Many thanks. Sadly sounds like something I'd never be able to get over here in the UK.

They are grown in California, but are of Mexican (Mayan) decent. We also have Vidalia onion which is sweet and from Georgia state.

Oh my, that sounds lovley.

It was a "pantry" soup, as I call them.

I sauteed some mayan sweet onions until caramelized, added some left over potatoes that I had steamed for another dish and sauteed until browned. I added a jar of gigantic white beans from Trader Joe's, a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes and finally one can Campbell's Tomato soup (prepared separately). I also added some re-hydrated garlic flakes, black pepper, sea salt and dried oregano. Garnish w/ manchego.
