Bean Soup

Ingredients

Chickpeas 1 cup

Red beans 1/4 cup

Green peas 1/4 cup

Ham 200 g

Onion 1

Carrot 1

Celery (stalks) 1

Water 2000 ml

Vegetable oil 2 tbsp

Salt

Pepper

Soak the chickpeas in cold water for 4-5 hours (or overnight), adding a little baking soda. Drain. Boil the peas until half-cooked and drain into a separate container.

In a separate saucepan, sauté finely chopped onion, celery, and carrot in vegetable oil. Add the chopped ham, frozen beans, and peas. After 5 minutes, add the chickpeas.

 Add the reserved cooking water and simmer, covered, until tender. The soup should be quite thick.

If you can't find chickpeas, try making this soup with regular dried peas.

Enjoy!
