How to Make Bean Soup Vegetarian Style

I love Soup but especially when there is a nip in the air. My family has gotten used to eating things without red meat. Sometimes I don't use any at all. This is my version of Bean Soup vegetarian style.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bag of dried beans
• Clove of garlic
• 1 Stalk of celery
• 1 Large onion
• 1 Tablespoon vegatable base
• 1 Tomato cubed
• 1 Can of diced carrots
• Black pepper & salt to taste

1. 
    

   Soak Dried Beans overnight.

2. 
    

   Rinse, put beans back in pan and cover with water.

3. 
    

   Add to that garlic, celery, onion & vegetable base.

4. 
    

   Cook about 45 minutes and then add tomato.

5. 
    

   Cook about 15 minutes longer and add carrots. (If you use real carrots put them in at the beginning. I cheated.) Simmer until the beans are soft. Approx another 30 minutes.

6. 
    

   Serve up and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• Add a slice of that Sugar Free Apple Pie to the meal. It's really good :+)
• A fresh tomato slice too while you still have them in the garden.
