Versatile Rice & Beans Soup Base<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
8 oz. (1 C.) of rice<\/p>\n
2 oz. (1\/4 C.) of red kidney beans<\/p>\n
2 oz. (1\/4 C.) of pearl barley<\/p>\n
2 oz. (1\/4 C. lentils<\/p>\n
1 oz. (1\/8 C.) of split green beans<\/p>\n
1 oz. (1\/8 C.) of chick peas\/garbanzo\u2019s<\/p>\n
Chicken Bouillon and Salt Optional but highly recommended<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Put the ingredients into 6 quarts of water, bring to a boil and then simmer for 2 hours. When I cooked this it didn\u2019t thicken up for me in two hours, but once I turned the burner off and let it sit for a while it did thicken up into a very hearty soup! This makes a hearty base for a soup. You can add dried meats such as chicken, or even jerky at the beginning of the cook time. You can add additional canned vegetables (add in last 5-10 minutes of cooking) or fresh vegetables from your garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
