Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 This freezes too. White Bean Soup With Tomatoes And Herbs 1 bunch fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon dried thyme 1 sprig fresh rosemary, large sprig or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary 2 bunches fresh oregano or 4 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano 3 cups dried white beans, washed, picked over 12 cups water 1/4 cup olive oil or 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 medium onion, diced 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 cups canned chopped tomatoes, with their liquid 2 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper 2 quarts vegetable stock or water 2 1/2 limes, quartered If using fresh herbs, make an herb packet by placing a large square of cheesecloth on a counter. Place the thyme, rosemary and half the oregano in the center, gather the ends together and tie to enclose. Remove the leaves from the remaining bunch of oregano, chop and reserve. Combine the beans, fresh herb packet or the dried herbs and water in a large saucepan or stockpot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until the beans are cooked through but still firm, 1 hour. Remove from the heat. Lift out and discard the herb bundle. In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté the onions until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook just until the aroma is released, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their liquid, salt, pepper and half of the reserved chopped oregano (if using fresh). Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is evaporated. Stir in the beans and their cooking liquid and cook 5 minutes longer. Pour in the Vegetable Stock or water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook about 40 minutes, or until the beans are very tender. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining chopped fresh oregano and lime wedges. Serves 8. ______________________________\ ____ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi Ray, Tesco and Sainsbury have a huge array of dried beans, all types and including white beans, black eyed, mung beans and many others Some of the dried Beans names used in the States are different from what we know here. Christie opened my eyes when I was looking for Black Beans. Black Beans is actually Black Turtle Beans, available in Tesco and Sainsbury.
