Beans and Celery Soup


A very healthy, tasty and filling soup.
I mixed kidney beans and black beans in this recipe. However, you can add any other bean you like.
If you are using raw beans, then you need to soak the beans for about 4-5 hrs and pressure cook them till done. You can avoid this by using canned beans. Totally up to you.



Ingredients:

  • Kidney Beans - 1/2 cup
  • Black Beans - 1/2 cup
  • Celery - 3 stalks
  • Onion- 1 small
  • Garlic - 2 cloves
  • Vegetable Broth - 4-5 cups
  • Butter - 1 tbsp
  • Basil, Parsley and Oregano Mix - 1/2 tsp ( Replace with your favorite herbs )
  • Salt - to taste
  • Pepper - to taste
Directions
  • Heat butter in the saucepan. Saute minced garlic. Saute finely chopped onions till translucent. 
  • Add vegetable broth, pressure cooked beans ( or canned ), Chopped celery.
  • Bring it to boil. Cook till celery is done. ( I prefer my celery a little crispy , so I do not cook it till very soft. But again, it's totally up to you how you like your's )
  • At the end, season with the herbs and salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot with garlic toast.
