Soaked and cooked, before going in the soup |
Calypso, aka Orca, beans are just so beautiful. I can never resist buying them when I see them, but then I end up not using them because I so rarely cook beans. I must be experiencing a form of spring cleaning because I'm feeling like I need to clean out my pantry and my freezer to make room for new foods. Last night I set a pound of the beans to soak and today made a double batch of
minestrone soup. I used 3 pints of vegetable stock and 1 of chicken stock, and all of the bean broth, and am canning 7 pints of soup. There's still plenty in the pot for eating over the next day or so.

Mise en place |
I'm now out of chicken stock and down to my last 2 pints of turkey stock; I guess I will need to make more chicken stock very soon. There is also another pound of Orca beans to play with!
