Tomato And White Bean Soup

[Guest guest]

Like to cook by the book? Well, here is a simple soup which has the beans

in it already. Looks like a good soup to toss together for lunch. I have

all the ingredients in the house except the scallions, and I usually sub

onions anyway. See how the beans add protein and fiber.

This colorful, tasty dish really celebrates spring. Try it using a variety

of fresh herbs. Crusty whole-wheat bread is all you will need to make a

full meal.Fresh herbal overtones boost the flavor of this

ready-when-you-are soup. White beans make a deliciously creamy base for

soups, sauces and stews.

 

Meal Plan: Make the soup, then put together a tossed salad of shredded

lettuce, finely diced tomatoes and bell peppers, and sliced olives. Dress

in your favorite natural low-fat dressing and have each person make his or

her own " salad wraps " using large warmed flour tortillas or soft lavash

wraps. End the meal with fresh strawberries topped with vanilla frozen

yogurt or a nondairy frozen dessert.

 

In food processor, puree half of beans until smooth. Add tomatoes with

their liquid and scallions, and puree until smooth. Transfer puree to

large saucepan. Stir in remaining beans, broth, cilantro, seasoning mix

and pepper. Warm through over low heat, stirring occasionally. Serve hot.
