I claim that if beans well not cheap and plentiful, bean soup could be sold as as an expensive delicacy. It is that good. Best yet, it is in the category of cheap great food that is easy to prepare. For this exercise I started with Bob’s Red Mill 13 Bean Soup, which is a bag of mixed dried beans.

I liked it. Boiled grain is never going to be dynamite, but morning meals needn’t be dynamite. The engine can be started without stomping on the accelerator. The flavor has a nutty character that reminds one of those fields of grain. As promised, it tastes unprocessed. It must be the hundred-year-old stone-buhr that does it.
