Beans 101 (Return of Bean Friday!)
...beans to soup. Maybe to a ready-made soup, to beef it up. Or maybe you’re cooking a soup from scratch. Just drop the beans in at the end, so they have long enough to warm up. Pour off the cooking broth from your homemade beans and drink that as soup. Or puree cooked beans into a nice thick soup, adding water if necessary. Put your beans on toast. Sound unappealing? Then change the name: Crostini. See how marketing works? Toast up some stale bread...
