Spiced mixed beans soup Directions
- For this recipe I used canned diced tomatoes made by Pomi. Fragrant, intense and tasty, perfect for this recipe.
- This step is optional but will give the soup an addition of smoked flavor. Peel the onions, put them on a fork and toast over the flame of the stove. The onion should not be burned but lightly toasted.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add finely chopped onion and celery stalk and cook over a low heat for 2 - 3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes slightly transparent. Add garlic (cut into strips) and chilli pepper (cut in half) and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Add two types of paprika, cumin, thyme, oregano and a pinch of salt. At this point add two types of beans (previously drained and rinsed). Stir and cook for another minute.
- Stir in diced tomatoes and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook over medium heat for another 20 minutes.
- After this time, turn off the heat, add balsamic vinegar and lemon zest (I used half a lemon). Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if necessary.
