Here in Milwaukee WI the tempature 20 Fahrenheit. Super cold!
So what’s better than a hot soup in a chilly weather? This is one of my favorite recipes for a warm and delicious soup.
Unlike the lentils soup that is instant – this soup is more “American” you should plan its preparation ahead.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of chickpeas
- 1 cup of brown lentils
- 1/2 a cup of red kidney beans
- 1/2 a cup of white small beans (you may use also in "Black Eyed PEAS")
- 1/2 of cup black beans
- 1 large onion
- 1 whole celery
- 2 cups of spinach (optional)
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- 4 teaspoons of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
Instructions
1
Put the beans in a big bowl cover with a lot of water and leave for overnight- beans almost double their capacity, so use a big bowl and fill it with a lot of water.
2
The next day, cut the onion into small cubes and fry it in a pot until brown. Browned onion makes your soup taste better so dont rush it up
3
Wash and slice the celery into thin slices and add to the pot.
4
Pour the water and rinse the beans. Add them to the pot and fill it with water about 4 inches above all it's contain.
5
Boil the water until froth starts to appear. Remove the froth with a bid spoon.
6
When the soup boils, and after removing all the froth, add the spinach, the spices, the crushed garlic cloves, cover the pot with the lid and simmer for hour and a half.
