Red bean soup (vegan)
Description
Perfect for lunch. Bean soups, thanks to the beneficial properties of this excellent legume, play an important role in our diet. After all, the plant-based proteins in beans can replace animal proteins and are even better absorbed by the body. Therefore, bean dishes are always healthy and quite filling. A vegetarian bean soup is a simple dish that won't take much of your time. You can use dried beans in the recipe, provided you soak them beforehand. However, any dish should not only taste good but also look appealing. Dried red beans will turn the soup dark after cooking, making it less visually attractive. Yet the taste and nutritional value remain the same. I prefer using canned beans. Serve the soup in bowls and enjoy.
