Bean soup has always been a favourite of mine. Not only because beans are cheap, nutritious and kinda low in calories, but also because it just makes me feel like I’m at home, I’m safe and the rain outside can’t touch me. Well, I made this soup in the middle of summer, so there must be more to it, but let’s not form emotional connection with a soup.

The only problem with bean soup?

No, it’s not the farts that wake up my neighbors dogs in the middle of the night. They don’t even have dogs, come on!

Plus we all know success is like a fart: It only bothers people when it’s not their own. Fine I stole that one from here.

The one thing I don’t like about bean soup, well, making bean soup is the time it takes.

My grandma always made bean soup from scratch using dried beans. She’d soak them overnight and then cook them to perfection in no time…like what, 1-2 hours? She made the best bean soup ever.

But to be fair, my grandma was a housewife with nothing to do all day long. She’d just sit there, garden, cook, care for her grandchildren and the goats and chickens she was raising on the farm and probably do some other unimportant things around the house. No biggie. She wasn’t an accountant or something else life-changing…

Me? I don’t have time for that.

I have to take care of one toddler and to sit in front of a computer while drinking coffee.

Making bean soup from scratch is not an option for this busy mama (never called myself this in my life, feels weird).

So I took a shortcut here. I used canned beans, that I rinsed and drained.

And this bean soup? Pretty great if you ask me. Sure there was the one or other flatulence around the house and it might have looked like a 80’s party at our place in the morning (you know with all the gas? too obvious? too soon?), but it’s totally worth it.

My toddler loves this soup and now I know, whenever I feel he’s constipated – he gets to enjoy a bowl or two. Never thought my heart would melt when someone farts, but it did every time he ripped one. It was funny and cute and priceless and it made him laugh too, which made it even more adorable.

What You’ll Need For This Bean Soup

Cooking Pot. Use a medium-sized cooking pot for this recipe, it makes enough, but it doesn’t make too much bean soup.

Ladle. So you can stir the soup and later serve it in your bowls.

Canned Beans. I used canned white beans, cannellini beans would work as well. In fact any type of beans will work here – black and kidney beans too, but the results will vary. I prefer white beans for a creamier texture.

Mint. I highly, highly recommend you add some mint to your soup! You can use fresh mint like myself, but if you don’t have any – dried mint will work as well.

Tomatoes. One fresh tomato adds flavor and richness to this recipe. If you don’t have fresh tomato, you can use canned or a Tbsp of tomato paste.

Paprika. I am not an expert on paprika, but I know I used a non-spicy one, because this was also for my toddler. If you’d like to add some spice – use spicy or add chili powder or crushed red pepper.

Onion is very essential here and in almost any soup out there.

Carrot And Olive oil. Add a carrot for some additional texture and olive oil to complete the dish and to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins in the soup (this one has a lot of those!)
