    "Instant" Navy Bean Flour Soup


    Source of Recipe


    Brenda-Lee Olson

    Recipe Introduction


    Original Recipe from www.waltonfeeds.com
    Adapted by BL Olson





    List of Ingredients




    1 Cup Navy Bean Flour (Pinto, Lima or Garbanzo also will also work.)
    4 Cups Water
    1 Tablespoon Chicken Bouillon
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    1/4 cup dehydrated onions or 1 small onion optional

    Recipe



    Grind the dry beans in a wheat grinder. Usually, 3/4 cup of beans will make 1 cup of flour.

    Add the other dry ingredients to the bean flour.

    Stir 1/2 cup of water into the bean flour until it is mixed then add the rest of the water or milk and heat it in a medium sized sauce pan, constantly stirring. As it reaches the boiling point it will thicken.

    Boil it for about a minute.

    If it gets too thick add a bit more water/milk until your soup thins down to what cream of chicken soup should be.

    If it lacks flavor, add a bit more chicken bouillon.

    Garnish with dry parsley flakes.

    Serves 4.


    BL's notes:
    I start by saute-ing 2 diced large onions, 4 ribs of celery and some aromatics like garlic, celery seed, paprika, etc.

    Then I add 2 large pitchers of water and let this come to a boil.

    When it is hot, I take out 1 cup of the broth and slowly add it to a jar holding 2 cups of bean flour, whisking as I add the broth.

    I then add another 1 cup of broth until I have a milk-like consistency.

    I whisk this into the broth remaining in the pot and cook for 15 minutes.

    Add smoke flavor for a western touch.

    The kids like to add frozen corn as well.
