Aduki beans are wonderful, meaty tasting little Japanese red beans... this recipe is suitable for a vegan meal and is posted by a request. Canned beans can be used in place of the dried to save time. Prep time includes soaking beans overnight, but cook time does not reflect cooking the beans before adding to soup.

ADZUKI BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP RECIPE
Categories Squash
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cinnamon, coriander, chipotle and salt and saute for a minute or two - until aromatic. Add the onions and saute another 5 minutes or so, until they start to go translucent. Add the garlic and butternut squash, stir well, and then add 5 cups of water. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, and once boiling, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for a few minutes, until the squash begins to soften - 5 - 10 minutes. Once the squash has softened, use a potato masher and break up the squash pieces a bit. Add the tomatoes, and cook a couple more minutes before adding the beans. Serve drizzled with the cilantro. Serves about 8. * I made a quick cilantro drizzle by finely mincing a handful of cilantro. I put it in a jar, and poured just enough olive oil over to cover - plus a couple pinches of salt. - Adapted from Jae Steele's Get It Ripe: A Fresh Take on Vegan Cooking and Living (Arsenal Pulp Press, 2008)
KABOCHA SQUASH AND SWEET POTATO SOUP WITH ADZUKI BEANS
I was macrobiotic for a few years in the mid 2000′s. Kabocha squash cooked with adzuki beans is their staple dish and I used to eat that all the time along with cooked brown rice. The other day I thought I should try making a soup version of this dish, and here is what I came up with. For more healthy gluten-free recipes, please visit my blog, www.innerharmonynutrition.com.
