Briny Bean Soup

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT VIEW IN ENGLISH

This soup is one of our favorites because it relies heavily on pantry and refrigerator staples. We often have everything we need to make it, so it's perfect for times when you don't have a dinner plan or haven't made it out to the grocery store.

The secret ingredient, dill pickle brine, adds a salty-sour flavor. We've made it with fermented pickle brine and vinegar pickle brine and both work well. Pickle brine is a flavor booster that just hangs out in your fridge and often just gets thrown out, so put it to work with this recipe instead!

Briny Bean Soup is great as a main dish with crusty bread or as a side soup and it's always a hit with guests!

Note: Pictured bread for serving is not gluten-free. Omit or use a gluten-free option if needed.

método

  1. COOK THE ONION AND GARLIC. Heat olive oil in a Dutch over or other large, thick bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
  2. COOK THE VEGETABLES. To the pot add carrot, celery, dried basil, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes.
  3. WILT THE COLLARDS. Add the collards to the combine and mix to combine. Cook just until the greens are wilted.
  4. ADD THE CANNED INGREDIENTS. Once the collards are wilted, add the tomatoes, lima beans, and cannellini beans to the pot. Mix gently to incorporate, taking care not to smash the beans.
  5. ADD THE LIQUIDS AND SIMMER. Add the the broth and pickle brine to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and allow the soup to simmer, covered for 30 minutes. Serve with crusty bread or as a side soup with other dishes.
comida de infantes:

Soups are great to introduce a lot of new flavors and textures. For new eaters take some of the soft beans and veggies and blend with enough broth to achieve the consistency you want. As babies advance to more texture, blend less to leave soft bits or try to fork mash to leave even more texture. As babies are trying finger foods, you can remove some of the beans and veggies from the broth and cut or smash them into pieces and serve on a plate or bowl without the broth
