VEGAN RED KIDNEY BEAN SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• - it is best if you soak your beans the night before. You can also use the quick soak method that is listed below in the notes section. If you have an instant pot - you do not have to pre-soak your beans.
• Add beans, carrots, and sweet potatoes to instant pot. Add 7 cups of water. Hit the manual button and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Don't add anything else for now. Once the 60 minutes are up, I always leave the instant pot alone for another 10 to 15 minutes to allow the pressure to naturally release. Remember, if when you open the IP the beans still feel hard then just pop the cover back on and add another 10 or 15 minutes.
• Place soaked beans and chopped carrots and sweet potatoes in a large pot with 7 cups of water, heat over medium heat and simmer gently with lid tilted until beans are soft and tender. This usually takes 60 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. Make sure to keep an eye on your beans and stir occasionally, burnt beans are the worst! You may have to add water as you go if the water evaporates but the beans are still not tender enough. You'll know the beans are ready once they are soft. I like to taste the beans as I go.
• - saute the veggies. In a saucepan, pour about 1/2 cup of vegetable broth OR 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add chopped onions, red bell pepper, and garlic. Once veggies are soft and fragrant, remove from heat and set aside.
• (you tasted them and the actual bean is soft, not hard) then add the sautéed veggies to the large pot or instant pot as well as the chopped tomato, vinegar, and the rest of the spices: salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, dried cilantro, black pepper and cayenne. Continue to cook over low/medium heat (or if using instant pot, leave it on the "keep warm" setting while you add all these things) for another 10 to 15 minutes allowing all of the flavors to come together.
• - you can keep the bean soup a little longer over medium heat and the soup will thicken up. If you feel that the soup is too thick for your liking, you can always add bits of water back in to thin it out.
• Serve as is, or you can serve with a side of quinoa, wild rice, a banana, or avocado slices.. yummm. Enjoy ????

RED KIDNEY BEAN PUREE

Steps:

• Soak the beans in cold water overnight.
• Heat the wine in a saucepan with spices, onion, herbs and peppers and two cups of water. Bring the liquid to a boil and keep it at a simmer. Meanwhile, drain the beans, cover them with cold water and bring them to a boil. Boil hard for five minutes and drain. Immediately add the beans to the simmering wine, cover and cook over medium low heat one to one-and-a-half hours. Add boiling water if necessary to keep the beans covered. (Season with one teaspoon of salt only when the beans are tender.)
• Drain the beans, reserving one-half cup of the cooking liquid. Discard the cinnamon stick, bouquet and onion. Puree the beans in a food processor; for a finer result one can then press them with the cooking liquid through the fine blade of a food mill. Return the beans to the saucepan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, over low heat until the puree becomes thick enough to come away from the sides of the pan.
• Gradually beat in the butter. Correct the seasoning. (The beans can be prepared one day in advance. Reheat them slowly in a double boiler or a covered glass dish in the microwave.)
