Black and White Bean Soup - Black and navy beans combined in a beefy, tomato broth for a substantial dinner soup.
If it's snowing or just plain cold where you are today, I've got a great Black and White Bean Soup recipe to warm you up. As you know, beans are low in saturated fat and sodium, and very low in cholesterol and a very good source of both protein and fiber.
They're also budget friendly. More so if you used the dried type, but honestly I rarely think far enough ahead to soak beans in advance. The canned ones work fine for me.
A few days ago when it was dark and rainy and dreary, I started out to make some sort of bean soup and this is what I wound up with. A can of white beans, a can of black beans, some tomatoes and seasonings and we had a gorgeous pot of Black and White Bean Soup. Give this one a try. I think you'll really enjoy it.

This recipe is so simple that you don't even need the step-by-step photos I usually post. Here's all you need to do:
How to Make Black and White Bean Soup
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute about 4 or 5 minutes or until tender. Add the tomatoes, beans, beef broth, parsley, basil, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
I served some simple cheese toast with this, but a nice crusty loaf of French bread or garlic bread would be great. Heck, just some saltine crackers would work for me!
Enjoy!

It's about 70 degrees right now... and the low for us on Thursday is predicted to be 34 degrees. A bit of change in the weather, for sure.
This sounds just right. I'm going to check my pantry for the ingredients!
