13 Bean Soup

It all started with a bag of Bob's Red Mill 13 bean soup mix. I wasn't a fan of the recipe on the label so I winged it.

I love the colours! 13 Bean Soup Mix contains navy, black, red, pinto, baby limas, large limas, garbanzo, red lentils, great northern, kidney beans, black-eyed peas, yellow splits, green splits, and lentils. I added:

2 cups '13 bean soup mix' beans (follow package instructions on soaking & rinsing)

2L Organic Vegetable broth

1/2 red pepper, chopped

1 cup celery, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp chili powder

pinch red pepper flakes

1 1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp dried thyme

3/4 tsp salt

3/4 tsp pepper

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Throw it all into the slow cooker for 3-4 hours on high, depending on your slow cooker (mine is HOT and did it in half the time).

And Voila! Delicious, healthy bean soup, high in soluble fibre!
