As you will continue to notice, I make soup a lot. Especially when the temperatures drop, but just in general - I quite enjoy throwing some of my favorite things in a pot, waiting a few hours, eating a gravy-boat's worth, and then having lunch for a week (or often less, once Matty discovers the contents of the tupperware.)
This I had the idea for, then Googled, then got confused by so many variations (use chicken sausage! with orzo! add tomato! and some flour and cream! carrots!) that I decided to just wing it based on ingredients I enjoyed and knew would taste good together.
It's also worth noting that I used dried beans for the first time ever with this.
I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
Not when you're cooking that day and don't have time to soak the beans over night, that is. I tried the "quick-soak" method for these, which is bring to a boil then soak for an hour, and they were not nearly tender enough.
So. Either stick to canned beans, or soak overnight, or take out entirely and add more red potato. Any of those suggestions would make this good soup pretty great. But regardless, this is pretty healthy and very filling. Enjoy!
