I could literally live off of beans! They're satisfying when you don't want a huge meal and in this specific situation, they taste great as a soup. I added onions, sprouts and sour cream (you could even add a little jalapeno to kick it up some) and it was ready to go! It really was as simple to make as it looks and took all but 7 minutes to prepare (granted, that I did have a pot of beans that had cooked over night last night in the fridge) and tasted great =] Enjoy!
Chef Tony Perez - Bean Sprout Soup
Mis en Place:
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup of pinto beans
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • Salt + Pepper
  • Sprouts
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 yellow jalapeno
Pot o' Beans

Put water in a pot and wait until the water is boiling before you add beans, onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Immediately after adding all your ingredients, bring your heat to a simmer and let sit covered for about 3 hours. At this point, I would normally put the pot in the fridge so that the starch from the beans make the soup thicker overnight, but you can serve right after cooking too.

The Soup

I wish I had some red colored veggies to add to this but I only have a yellow jalapeno, and onions to sautée and put on top. You can leave the seeds in for an extra kick. Grab a bowl, ladle in your desired amount of beans, and add your sautéed veggies, sprouts and a spoonful of sour cream on top. Enjoy and Happy cooking =]
