This made me so happy.
The babies scarfed it down.
The others managed to wrangle it by their imaginary gag reflex once they realized it would make them...ehm, musical...
I just wish I had made more
Vegetable Soup with White Beans & Black Eyed Peas
onion
celery
carrot
mushrooms
beef stock
white beans (dried)*
black eyed peas (dried)*
tomato
zucchini
Saute coarsely chopped onion, celery, carrot and mushrooms until soft. Add beef stock & tomato until just covered. Puree to desired consistency. Salt (soups taste sooooo much better when salted correctly. Add some, then add some more until it tastes right)** Toss in beans and peas. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Zucchini cooks super fast so that goes in for 10 minutes at the end.
Soup is ready when done.
* I like dried beans, but they are like little stone so...
Pro tip #1: if you are organized: soak dried beans overnight.
Pro tip #2: if you are NOT- boil dried beans for 1 minute then let sit for 1 hour.
Go with canned if that makes you happy.

**whenever I oversalt a soup, I just add more water. Now you know.
