Bean Soup

This is one of my favorite soups! It's made with great northern and black beans. This soup can be prepared in about 30 minutes and can be enjoyed at lunch or dinner. Mm-mm...

Ingredients

• 4 Tbsp of olive oil
• 4 Tbsp of all purpose flour
• 4 cups of water
• 4 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1/4 tsp of black pepper
• 1 Tbsp of cumin
• 1 Tbsp of sugar (optional)
• 1 (14.5) oz can of diced tomatoes
• 1 (15.5) oz can of great northern beans, drained
• 1 (15.5) oz can of black beans, drained
• 2 cups of cooked ground turkey breast, approximately 1/2 pound
• 1 cup of sweet corn, fresh or frozen
• 1/2 cup of chopped green onions

I added a tablespoon of sugar to this soup to keep the beans from getting soggy and breaking apart. So the sugar is not for taste but is used as a preservative.

Directions
Heat a 4-quart pot on medium high heat. Add the olive oil. Once the olive oil has heated, stir in the flour until well blended. Stir in the water and bring to a boil. Add the chicken bouillon cubes, black pepper, cumin, diced tomatoes, and both cans of beans. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the cooked ground turkey and sweet corn. 

Lower the heat to medium and cook for approximately 20 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat and add the soup to bowls. Let cool for approximately 5 minutes. 

Enjoy with your favorite bread or salad. (We enjoyed ours with a slice or cornbread.) 

Makes 6 - 8 servings.
