Notes
Use this vegan white bean soup as a base and add your favorite vegetables and leafy greens.
Dry white beans - if using dry beans, you will need to sort them before soaking them.
Sorting will help you separate any debris such as rocks, bad beans and other bits and pieces.
Also, ensure you have rinsed the beans prior to soaking to eliminate any dust and dirt.
Try my vegan dinner rolls or 3 ingredients Australian damper, with a side of fresh salad with this poor man's soup.
