I’m all about warm Autumn and Winter soups that comfort me but don’t weigh me down. Really, vegetables and spices are all you need for taste. This soup is fat-free and without cream, milks, or flours. It combines an assortments of beans, legumes, and grains with vegetables and greens to create balanced and textured result. Feel free to substitute as you like. Spiced lightly with salt and pepper, its all you need to keep you centered and calm on a cold day. Enjoy!
