Survivor Soup

 

Rice and beans are a survival staple. After all, they’re cheap and provide carbohydrates and protein. This soup is very hearty and filling. It costs just pennies to make, and it will give you enough energy to sustain you during a difficult time.

 

1 C. of rice

2 C. of dried, mixed beans

1 T. chili powder (optional)

1 T. cumin (optional)

Bouillon (season to taste)

 

Add first six ingredients to a large kettle. Pour two qt. of water. Add bouillon to taste, chili powder, and cumin (if using). Bring to a boil and simmer for two hours. This soup is thick and hearty, and should be enough to feed four people for lunch and dinner.
