Recipe: Westbrae organic soup beans

Today I made a simple country-style soup using a 15 oz can of Westbrae Organic Soup Beans (beans, barley, lentils):

1 1/2 cups broth
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced carrot
1 small tin of sweet corn
1 15 oz can of Westbrae organic soup beans
1 tablespoon polenta (for thickening)
Teasp. of fresh or dried thyme
1 chopped clove of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teasp. chipotle pepper powder (if desired)




Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil until transparent. Add this to a medium saucepan with the celery and carrot and broth. Add polenta to thicken and the tinned corn. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes until vegetables are tender. Stir in beans and seasonings. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve with crusty bread.
