Vegetarian Soup

I found this soup on Pinterest and thought it sounds great so here it is! I might add some potatoes.



Holiday Recovery Soup:


Ingredients:
5 medium sized carrots
2 bunches of celery
1 cup diced shallot, onion and garlic
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can black beans
8 cups liquid (i used 4 cups veggie stock and 4 cups water)
Bag of kale


Seasonings (about a teaspoon each):
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Paprika
Ginger powder
Brown mustard seeds


Prep the ingredients:
-Finely chop the onions, shallots and garlic together (or buy them pre-chopped like I did)
-chop carrots and celery
-combine dry seasonings in a small bowl
-rinse and drain garbanzo and black beans in a colander


Make the soup:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Sautée the onions, shallots, and garlic for about 5 minutes, then add the dry seasoning and sautée for another minute. Stir in the carrots and celery and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add the garbanzo and black beans and 8 cups of liquid. Bring the soup to a low boil, then simmer covered over low heat for at least an hour. After that, rinse the kale (removing any stems) and stir into the soup, simmering for an additional 20 minutes. Then enjoy! As with all soups, the longer you let it sit, the better it will taste


By the time you're done, it should look a little something like this:
