INGREDIENTS, CLICK TO VIEW SHOPPING LIST
Bean Soup Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (tea) of cooked beans with broth
- olive oil or oil
- ½ onion(s) chopped
- 1 minced garlic clove
- ½ chayote, shelled, diced
- 750 ml of boiling water
- salt
- pepper
Finishing ingredients (optional):
- ½ cup (tea) pasta of your choice for cooked soup (optional)
- lemon (juice) (optional)
PRE-PREPARATION:
- Separate recipe utensils and ingredients.
- Put a saucepan with water (see quantity in the ingredients) on the fire to boil.
- Wash and peel the onion and garlic and chop them.
- Wash the chayote, peel it and cut it into cubes.
- Wash and dry the lemon (optional).
- Wash, chop, dry and leave reserved parsley or cilantro for finishing (optional)
PREPARATION:
Dough (optional):
- Put a pan with water on the fire to cook the pasta.
- When it boils, add the salt and pasta of your choice.
- Cook according to package directions.
- When cooked, drain them with a strainer, rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking and set them aside.
Bean soup:
- In a skillet, over medium heat, saute the chopped onion and garlic in olive oil or oil until the onion is translucent.
- Add the chayote cubes and a little salt and sauté for another minute.
- Add half the boiling water and cook until the chayote is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add the cooked beans with the stock and stir to blend the flavors well.
- Add the rest of the boiling water and continue cooking for another 5 minutes to incorporate the ingredients.
- Transfer the soup to the blender or leave it in the pan to use a mixer – if you prefer a more rustic soup, set aside ⅓ of the serving without beating.
- Beat until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous cream – add a little more water if necessary to obtain the desired consistency.
- Put the soup back in the pot and, if you have opted for a more rustic soup, add the unwhipped part.
- When serving, put the soup back on the heat, bring to the boil, check for salt and season with pepper.
- Optional: add the cooked pasta and mix.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes until desired soup consistency is reached – add a little more boiling water if needed.
- Check the seasoning again.
- Turn off the heat, squeeze a little lemon (optional) and mix.
FINISHING AND ASSEMBLY:
- Before serving, finish with chopped parsley or cilantro (optional)
- put the bean soup in a bowl or, if you prefer, distribute it in bowls.
