They lose their pretty color when cooked, so I figured I'd throw them into a soup. This was thrown together on a whim - no measurements, no plans...but that's usually what a good soup is! Went something like:
- 3 strips of bacon, diced, cooked in large pot until crispy, reserve bacon
- Chop 1 onion, 1 carrot & 1 celery stalk, saute in bacon drippings
- Chop a few potatoes into small cubes & add to veggies
- Add 1 box of chicken broth & some water to cover
- Add shelled beans
- Simmer until beans & potatoes are cooked (these took only about 20 minutes)
- Puree about a third of the soup in a blender. Add some cream & heat through.
- Add bacon. Season with pepper, chopped basil, dash of hot sauce
Seemed like more of a winter soup, but it was good!
