16 Soups, Stews, and Chili Recipes with beans is a round up I’m excited about! I love all things comforting soup this time of year and I love when soups, stews, and chilis include lots of beans.
Beans are awesome for a couple or reason. They are are a great filler to replace some of the meat in soup and chili recipes. This is good for the budget but it’s also pretty good for you. Beans are loaded with fiber which keeps you full, have lots of protein, and they also include lots of trace minerals like magnesium, copper, and iron. If you’ve been stuck in a bean rut this is a great time to branch out. Most any bean can be subbed for another when it comes to soups and chilis. Some of our current favorites are black, pinto, small red, butter (Butter beans are HUGE and super creamy in the middle. My kids LOVE them!), kidney, white kidney, and Great Northern beans. They all have a pretty common taste and are very similar in texture. A few we have tried but are still learning to like in soups are garbanzo and black eyed peas. They both have more texture and a stronger flavor.
Are you sold!? What’s your current favorite bean and what do you love to use them in? Enjoy the recipes.
