EAT
This week, we got a bit of cooler weather here in Florida, so, Dana made soup. But not just any soup. It is a vegetarian version of a soup we are so fond of at The Columbia Restaurant. The Spanish Bean Soup is one we had on the first episode of our show. Theirs is delightful with Chorizo, Onion, Chickpeas, and warm spices.
We used our instant pot to create this version. It makes approximately 8 servings.
Here is our recipe:
Ingredients:
White Potatoes Diced - 6 potatoes
Water - 8 Cups
Dry Garbanzo Beans - 1-lb Package
White Onion Diced - 1 whole onion
Diced Carrots - 4 whole
Diced Celery - 4 stalks
Diced Jalapeño - 1 Whole
Minced Garlic - 6 Cloves
Smoked Paprika - 2 Tablespoons
Liquid Aminos - 4 Tablespoons
Chopped Fresh Kale - Half of a 16-ounce bag
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except kale in the instant pot. Set the instant pot on high and cook for one hour. Release valve and depressurize instant pot. Add kale. Turn back on low for 20 minutes. Then divide equally among 8 bowls and enjoy. Or divide among containers to store for the week for lunch or dinner.
