Simple Bean Soup by Andrew Zimmern

Beans are an indispensable pantry staple and one of the most intuitive ways to use them is in soups stews and chilis. Canned beans certainly have their uses but we prefer to cook dried beans at home and many of the recipes in this collection show why. Simmering dried beans allows us to flavor them with onions bay leaves and other aromatics and the cooking liquid thickens soups slightly and gives them a deliciously silky texture. Of course we don’t always have the time or inclination to soak and simmer a batch of beans so you won’t lose any points with us if you use up cans you have lying around. Below are our favorite bean soup recipes to get you cozy!
