I decided to make chicken stock too late for it to be ready to make
soup by 5PM. I gave it the old college try, but I prefer the deeper
flavor of a long simmered stock so I resorted to the box (Kirkland)
and let my stock continue overnight. The soup was simple enough to
make and could be even quicker if you use a can of beans instead of
dry.

Beans and Power Greens Soup by me
For 2

1/2 bag mixed beans, soaked (or a can of beans, rinsed and drained)
1 box chicken stock or one quart homemade
1/2 can diced tomatoes or 2 fresh plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh garlic chopped
pepper to taste

1 bag Power Greens (baby kale, baby chard and baby spinach)


Simmer first 5 ingredients until beans are soft - about 2 hours.

Add Power Greens and simmer until tender - 5-10 minutes.

Plate and garnish with grated cheese. I used a blend of parmesan and
romano.

The power greens came from Trader Joe's.

Served with Grandma's Cornbread.

Pictures will be in ABF and boo hoo to the only one who objects.

Breakfast this morning was a toasted slice of cornbread with butter
and (real) maple syrup + 1 egg over easy.

That's because it *is* an attachment. ABF (alt.binaries.food) is a

The url above isn't an attachment, but the pictures on ABF are.
That's how it's done over there. No url necessary. Of course, you
need a news reader that can handle it.

Hi, may want to revise the 1/2 bag since you reference same size as a
can of beans? Suspect you meant more like 2oz of an 8oz bag? (ie: 1/4
a small bag)

Seems like a good recipe though!

Your choice. My food photos are posted in a food specific binary ng -
which is *my* choice. I will not post any more photo URLs here in the
foreseeable future.

Nobody here is a novice cook. I used half a bag of mixed beans
(labeled as 16). You can use any amount of canned beans that you
want, and use more than one type if you wish. I find it odd that
you're getting all nit picky about this when you're always saying a
recipe is only the beginning. I thought I was being nice by adding
options in parentheses. Maybe I shouldn't bother in the future.

Close enough... 1 lb dried beans equals aproximately three 1 lb cans.
I've been in the mood for lima beans so yesterday at BJs I bought two
2 lb bags of large limas. A 2 lb bag cost $4.19... a 1 lb bag at the
small market in town cost $3.49. Dried beans have gotten expensive
over the last few years, which is why I mostly use canned... canned
actually costs less than dried when purchased in larger cans, and no
cooking.

Anyone who uses mixed beans is not only a novice cook, they are also
afflicted with TIAD... don't you know those are dried bean warehouse
floor sweepings... when those huge sacks of beans burst it's cost
prohibitive to separate the different varieties.

Oh...no! You did not specify exactly how many beans you put in your soup, so
I only put in 25 beans in mine and must now tell you that I think your soup
could have used more beans. ;-)

Whatever SF. Ypu took a polite query and turned it into a flame.
Enjoy it.
