Split Mung Bean Soup

Split Mung Bean Soup

A happy accident last week. I ordered mung beans from Hummingbird Wholesale in Eugene, OR, but didn’t specify “whole”. I received split mung beans. I didn’t even know split mung beans existed. Well, they do. And they’re delicious.
Split mung beans are mung beans that have been stripped of their hull and then cleaned and split. They [...]

12-Bean Soup Mix, and 12-Bean Soup Recipe, and 12-Bean Soup Mix for Gifts

About 4 years ago, I bought 3 to 5 pounds each of about 12 different organic beans and barley, and mixed up my own bean soup mix. We ended up with tons of it ~ 65 pounds in fact! I still have about 5 cups left of the mix in my kitchen. I gave lots [...]

My Tata’s Chicken Soup

My Tata’s Chicken Soup

Chicken Ginger Soup

Yesterday, I boiled a chicken with ginger in the water to make a delicious ginger chicken stock. After the chicken was cooked, I took it out and added brown basmati rice to the water. Then when that was done, I took the meat from the chicken and added it back in. During the day, I [...]
