This recipe is based on one from Almost Vegetarian Entertaining, but over the years I kept tweaking until I got it just how I like it. Depending on my mood, I sometimes use other beans, such as great northern, cannellini, pinto, or adzuki.
Creamy Potato Soup
This is just like my grandma used to make it, except instead of thickening with milk and flour, I use water and cornstarch
Lentil Barley Soup
This is my version of a very classic soup. It is very hearty, and contains just the right balance of vegetables, grains, and legumes. This is one of my favorite winter dishes.
