The weather is definitely feeling more and more autumnal. It's time to prepare a batch of soup. For this article, I dug back into my roots to prepare a wonderful, comforting soup that my mom used to make for us.
My mom was German-Russian and was brought up in very frugal conditions. Soup wasn't just a first course or an appetizer of thin broth with a few vegetables floating around the rim. Soup was a stick-to-the-ribs hearty meal, and this one is no exception. In fact, I submitted the recipe to a Progresso Soup contest and received honorable mention. (I'm sure Mama would have been proud.)
Don't be frightened by the prospect of cooking dry beans. The process is really quite simple, economical, and healthy (have you seen the sodium levels in canned beans?). One can of beans costs at least $1.00 on sale. However, a pound of dried beans costs about the same and yields 4 to 5 cups of cooked beans.
I originally posted this recipe on my space on Delishably.com. Here's the link.
