How to use bean cooking water?

The cooking water from beans can be used in various recipes to add flavor and texture. Some ideas:

SOUP: it’s great for a soup with vegetables and spices.

SAUCE: it can be used as a base for a sauce along with tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, herbs, or spices.

RICE: bean cooking water can be used as a broth for risotto, adding flavor and nutrition.

BREAD: to replace plain water in bread dough, it adds flavor and nutrition.

In general, the cooking water of any legume is rich in starches and proteins, so it can be used as a substitute for water or vegetable broth in many recipes to add flavor and nutritional value.
