Soup!

I made some fantastic soup!

I took 2 cans of Great Northern beans (yes, I know, you make yours from scratch, showoff....), then I had bought one of those soup mix collection of vegetables from the market.  There were carrots, turnips, parsnips, an onion, and fresh parsley.

I diced everything and put it in the pot with the beans and added a huge can of chicken broth and some chopped kale.

I let it simmer for a couple of hours (didn't need that much time but I was busy) and then I took out about a quart, pureed it in the blender, and returned the puree to the pot.

It was truly awesome and so incredibly easy!

Who knew soup this good could be made this easily? (Okay, cooks know, but I'm not much of a cook...).

I just had a bowl for dinner and still can't believe how good it is.  Add a little bread or a toasted English muffin and you've got a great meal!
