Viral Bean Soup Recipe for Penny Pinchers Who Love Saving Big
Hey friends! 😊 Ever had one of those days where making a little extra and doing something with love come together? Well, you’re in luck! If you’re like me, juggling multiple side hustles while ensuring you get the best bang for your buck at meal times, this recipe is the perfect mash-up. Today, let’s talk soup—a rich, hearty soup—and how it can warm your soul while you hustle at home. We’ll chat about making money online while our bean soup simmers away to perfection.
Why Bean Soup?
Bean soup is basically the definition of comfort food on a budget. It’s packed with protein, fiber, and flavor without breaking the bank—just like the side gigs we love. You can whip this up using pantry staples, making it perfect for those days when you’re counting coins and want something nourishing and delightful.
What You’ll Need:
- 2 cups of mixed beans (soaked overnight or canned if you’re short on time)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 celery stalk, sliced
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 6 cups of vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
How to Make This Awesome Bean Soup:
- In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, and sauté until they soften and the onions become translucent.
- Add the soaked or canned beans to the pot, and stir in the can of diced tomatoes along with the vegetable broth.
- Add in thyme and the bay leaf, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 45–60 minutes, or until the beans are tender. Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Remove the bay leaf, serve hot, and enjoy your steaming bowl of budget-friendly goodness.
