Today I want to offer you a bean soup: wellness on a plate.
It’s a typically winter dish, which I hope can warm your evenings and which you can use as a detox dish before and after the Christmas binge.
With few ingredients, you’ll prepare a delicious soup, a healthy dish full of winter vegetables like carrots and onions, and it will become complete with the addition of beans, which, as you know if you follow me, are a good source of protein and an excellent source of fiber and folates.
By the way, a few days ago I finished reading the interesting book by Valter Longo, known for the fasting-mimicking diet, “The Longevity Diet” which I recommend because it’s full of interesting insights, and he also advises increasing the consumption of legumes to at least three times a week.
So what are you waiting for? Buy the ingredients and get to work to prepare this delicious bean soup: wellness on a plate.
Oh, how good it is!
