Bean soup:
2 cups Anasazi beans
1 cup roasted buckwheat
1 onion,
2 cups cut carrots
24 ounces diced tomatoes
chiles added if you like
Vegetarian chorizo, or the meat stuff
1 cup Bok Choy
2 cups corn
3/8 cup vegetable oil (olive) or butter
Salt to taste
Directions: Saute onions and carrots in vegetable oil or butter, until onions softened and browned, then add 6 cups of water. Add beans and roasted buckwheat. Let cook medium heat for some 20 to 30 minutes until beans thoroughly softened (not mush)...probably will need to soak the beans overnight as I hadn't been able to find them otherwise in bulk dry form. Add tomatoes, chiles, Bok choy, and corn, and serve in 10 minutes. Soup actually gets better the longer it sits. I like the texture of Bok choy, lots so I try to avoid too much heated cooking for anything beyond 10 minutes. Add liquid as necessary, shouldn't be like concrete or thick heavy sludge. Although variations of beans would probably be good with this soup, also like Cannellini likewise..simple soup, but probably one of my favorites.
Seems like a lot of fat from the vegetable oil but considering that the end result produces quite a bit of volume, the added flavor from fats makes this soup a meal in its own right.
