I cooked beans soup (боб чорба) which is a traditional Bulgarian soup. It is a staple food at Bulgarian 🇧🇬 monasteries – it is quite nutritious and easy to cook 😋
Cold Weather = Cosy Warm Soup
Description
Is there a better meal to prepare in this cold weather 🥶 than a cosy warm soup 🥣 ?
I cooked beans soup (боб чорба) which is a traditional Bulgarian soup. It is a staple food at Bulgarian 🇧🇬 monasteries – it is quite nutritious and easy to cook 😋
Ingredients
Instructions
- Soak the beans for at least 8 hours in a bowl of cold water. Even better if you can do it overnight. Let the beans really soak up
- Drain the beans and start boiling them
- After 10-15 minutes, a white foam will start forming. Drain the beans and throw away the water. Add the beans back to the stockpot and boil with fresh water until they soften (usually 30 minutes)
- Add the onion, carrots and tomatoes (or tomato paste)
- Season to taste with salt, pepper, basil / spearmint
Notes
- Tip: when you serve it in a bowl, add a spoon of balsamic vinegar – you can thank me later 😋 🤤
