THREE-BEAN SOUP



Three-Bean Soup image

For those transitional chilly spring days when it's still brisk enough to merit a bowl of soup, this is your answer. It's a lighter, brighter stew that leans more on fresh beans than it does the dried ones. Just keep in mind you have to soak the lima beans overnight.

Provided by Molly Baz

Categories     Soup/Stew     Leek     Garlic     Bacon     Fennel     Celery     Thyme     Lima Bean     Bean     Sugar Snap Pea     Dill     Lemon     Parmesan     Bread

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 medium leeks, dark green parts removed
1 head of garlic, cloves separated
3 oz. bacon, chopped
2 Tbsp. plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 small fennel bulbs, finely chopped, fronds reserved
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
3 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp. plus 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 cup dried large lima beans, soaked overnight
3/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
8 oz. Romano beans, cut into 1" pieces
8 oz. sugar snap peas, trimmed, halved crosswise
1/2 small bunch dill
1 lemon
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 oz. Parmesan, shaved
Toasted crusty bread (for serving)

Steps:

  • Quarter leeks lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces. Rinse leeks in a fine-mesh strainer and pat dry with paper towels. Smash garlic cloves with the flat side of a chef's knife and peel; set 2 cloves aside.
  • Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown and starting to crisp, 8-10 minutes. Add smashed garlic and 2 Tbsp. oil and cook, stirring often, until garlic is just beginning to turn golden 3-4 minutes. Add leeks, chopped fennel, celery, thyme, bay leaf, and 1 Tbsp. salt. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add lima beans, red pepper flakes, and 6 cups water and bring to a simmer. Partially cover pot, reduce heat to low, and gently simmer, occasionally skimming and discarding any foam that rises to the surface, until beans are slightly crunchy but not quite creamy, 25 minutes. Add Romano beans and snap peas, return to a simmer, and continue to cook, adding just enough water to keep beans submerged, until dried beans are creamy and fresh beans are just cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, pulse dill, zest of whole lemon, fennel fronds, and 1 reserved garlic clove in a food processor until finely chopped. With the motor running, stream in 1/2 cup oil. Add 3/4 tsp. salt and squeeze in 2 tsp. lemon juice. Transfer pesto to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Remove stew from heat and stir in crème fraîche, black pepper, and 4 tsp. lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Rub bread with remaining garlic clove, drizzle with oil, and season lightly with salt.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with pesto, then top with shaved Parmesan. Serve with garlic bread and remaining pesto alongside.

THREE-BEAN LENTIL SOUP



Three-Bean Lentil Soup image

An easy, hearty soup made from items found in the pantry. It can be made in the crock pot also by combining all of the ingredients, except for the oil, and cooking on low for 8 hours but I like it better made on top of the stove. Sauteing the onions and garlic gives the soup a whole different flavour which doesn't come across in the crock pot version.

THREE BEAN TORTILLA SOUP



THREE BEAN TORTILLA SOUP image

Categories     Bean

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large tomato
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained, rinsed
1 (15 oz) can navy or white beans, drained, rinsed
1 (15 oz) can chili beans (zesty sauce), undrained
1 (14-1/2 oz) can vegetable broth
2 oz (1/2 cup) finely shredded cheddar cheese
Bag of tortilla chips or make your own

Steps:

  • Spray large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray. Add tomatoes, onion, and garlic and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add black beans (drained), then add navy or white beans (drained), chili beans (undrained), and the broth; mix well. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until veggies are tender. To serve, place tortilla strips in bottom of soup bowls, then ladle soup into bowls. Add cheese on top with more chips. Preparation time: 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: Using a variety of beans in your soup will give it a more complex flavor and texture. Some good beans to use include black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans.
  • Add vegetables to your soup: Vegetables will add flavor, nutrients, and color to your soup. Some good vegetables to use include onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a lot of umami, such as chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
  • Season your soup to taste: Season your soup to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of acidity, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to brighten up the flavors.

Conclusion:

Three bean soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile soup, so you can easily customize it to your own liking. By following these tips, you can make a three bean soup that is sure to warm you up and satisfy your taste buds.
