bean soup UPDATE
wanted to have some soup tomorrow... so:
i bag of 16 bean mix from the grocery store
1 chopped onion
2 potatoes chopped
1 portabella mushroom, sliced
3 (more like 2) carrots
4 bouilion cubes (chicken)
wash beans
throw it all in a pot
we will see how it urns out tomorrow, but i PLAN to serve it with some steamed spinach and some noodles or something.....
yes, its lacking in spices right now.
i prefer my soups BLAND so i can season them up to go with different stuff ....
after all, if i am going to serve it over rice, with cheese? different seasoning than by itself in a bowl
however i am almost certain to toss some small amount of seasoning in before morning.
EDiT: yes, most people would add garlic, sadly i am allergic to it.
Vegan? this could easily be vegan with more vegetables and without the chicken bouillion
UPDATE: as of his morning its thick, dark brown, and smells great. i actually think i will have some plain in a bowl for breakfast (peas porridge hot...) and possibly an added bunch of greens.
my sniff and nibble test says that for plain soup, no cheese or other stuff, i want to add a pepper mix (probably Mrs Dash) and a bit of paprika.
This is going to be removed from the crock pot and put in containers in the fridge as a "quick food base" for the next few days.... it will mostly be used as a side dish, or an ingredient, but its nice to know i have some on hand to heat up fast as plain soup.
