Week 7: lentil soup

Lentil soup is a repeat for the blog but still counts for me eating beans every week goal. I really love this simple soup! A family favorite. Here's my original post about it.

Week 6: White bean purée

While many fancy restaurants sell this as a elegant base to some fancy dish it was a flop at my house. I hesitate to give the recipie as it is still in the fridge 2 weeks later uneaten. I will, but just to proven haven't given up on beans

1 cup dried white beans
Olive oil
Roasted garlic

Soak beans and cook until tender. Purée with garlic and a drizzle of olive oil as needed for consistency.

Someone needs to tell me why this is so trendy. Just not as good as hummus even though it is about the same.
