What could be better when a cold winter storm threatens than a pot of soup? I have searched for a good recipe for many years. By good, I mean something I could heat and eat again on day 2 when most things from the day before taste like §leftovers§ At last, I have stumbled onto a good recipe in the Weight Watchers All-time Favorites cookbook…an Italian bean soup. And not just any bean soup…one that I actually like. This soup provides vegetables in a palatable form.

I am not a vegetable eater. I love dairy products…milk, milk and more milk…and shun veggies, although I have been making an effort to eat more of them this past year. I am the kid whose parents tried everything and failed to get her to eat her spinach.
The Italian bean soup includes white kidney beans and green beans. You can switch out the green beans for a green like kale or collards, should you choose. —000—

The Great Geezer hates beans, but I’ll try that one on him. I think I have that cookbook.
Yes, I went out and bought one of those little bookshelves that bolt to the wall. You put a book on the bottom that fits a slot, and all of a sudden your book pile floats on the wall. It holds an amazing load of volumes. Mixed inbetween the volume on the Panama Canal, where we hope to go next year, and the book of Haiku is my ODAT…which I too don’t open often enough. Thanks for the reminder. Hugs to David too.
We are opposites I cannot tolerate any dairy products, but LOVE vegetables. So can we swap? I do love soups and am always trying new recipes. I make a large potful, Have a portion fresh that day and freeze the remainder in portions. That way I have soup at hand any time I want it.
Soup in the wintertime is truly for the soul. Only soups I don’t like are the kind with seafood in them.
Absolutely believe in miracles. Sometimes you just need to look a little harder to see them. And I’m excited to try that soup!
I am not fond of veggies, either. Lol. Nice that we have that in common. On the other hand, my favorite recipe for Portuguese bean soup includes corn, black beans and tomatoes, so lots of fiber there. My brother was a drug addict (shot heroin up his veins), but so far it does not seem to be hereditary, as we sisters have never turned to drugs. Sometimes, I wonder if my mother brought home the wrong baby from the hospital.
