I made this soup for supper tonight, and it was a wonderful, warm and filling meal for this snowy evening. My picky three-year-old, who usually requires significant coaxing to try a new dish, ate it right up without even asking what is was! Thanks!

This soup is delicious, satisfying and very popular at our house! So easy to make, and very frugal too! DH had two bowls, our picky toddler inhaled it, and I’ve got leftovers so this pregnant mama has lunch for a few days. Wonderful!!

Michelle,
Sure! There are interesting sandwich spread recipes that start with white beans (just Google search it), or you could add seasonings and pan fry them for tortillas, or just add the puree in half cup servings to taco meat, chili, or anything you can think of. My mom does that and you can’t even tell you’re getting an extra boost of protein! Even blended soups are tasty; you could just make the soup as written and I bet it would still be great. The 3-bean soup recipe on this site is 100% blended – kids love it b/c it’s so easy to eat! Katie

I had plans to make this soup yesterday, but I home-made the white beans and let them cook too far. They fall apart when touched. Any ideas for using white bean puree (hehe)?

If you are a container re-user, the 16 oz plastic tubs from sour cream, cottage cheese, etc, are just right to make “1 can” of beans for the freezer. They are plastic #5 PP which has no BPA.

Yum! Looks like a great recipe . . . and I’ve been meaning to make a large batch of beans and freezing them so they’re as “handy” as a can of beans too! Great frugal tip!

Best,
Sarah

Sounds like a great soup! I am also the same way about using the same pot to do my beans as my soup. I’m all about less dishes!
