Secrets of the best bean soups
There are many life hacks for legumes. Here are our favorite recipes for success.
- Beans are extremely willing friends with soy sauce. We often use it to salt liquid dishes with beans, lentils and peas. It turns out great!
- There are many spices that suit the main character. Universal solutions that most people like: pepper, coriander, ginger and cumin.
- For winter vegetables, try adding turnips, celery root, corn and peas (from cans) to your favorites. The latter - simultaneously with beans. We peel the turnips and cut them into potato size, and throw them in later for 5-7 minutes.
- Be careful with the celery root. It’s not for everyone, because in hot food its aroma is felt as the main one. We love the wayward root like this: we chop it like carrots and fry it together.
5 rules for making the perfect broth without any hassle.
- We use more bones and pieces of meat that are not the softest, cutting off excess fat from them.
- We always cook the broth without a lid, like any soup.
- Place the meat in cold water. Cook over moderate heat.
- Skim off the first foam and add vegetables at the rate of up to 150 g per kilogram of meat. Everyone's favorites: onions and carrots. Interesting accents: celery root, as well as onion peels - for color, garlic and bay leaf - 15 minutes before the end of cooking.
- It is beneficial to prepare broths in advance. And it’s worth skimming off excess fat: after cooling in the refrigerator, it will harden into a crust on the surface. This will remove the heavy taste from the broth.
Legumes easily and inexpensively diversify the menu. And the winter cold is simply made for thick and satisfying first courses! Prepare one of our options. And then soup with canned beans will become one of your favorites, and the selection of recipes with photos on our website will serve as an excellent helper in the kitchen. Bon appetit!
