This soup is better the next day! I've doubled the recipe, adding just a bit more vegetables.

Hearty Vegetable Soup

1 ½ tablespoons dry pinto beans
1 cup water
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add dry pinto beans and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow beans to soak for one hour. Discard water and rinse beans.


1 ½ cups water
1 quart vegetable or chicken broth (I used fat-free low-sodium chicken broth)
2 Tablespoons dry lentils
¼ cup onions, diced
½ cup fresh carrots, diced
¼ cup fresh celery, diced
½ cup fresh white potatoes, peeled, cubed
1 tablespoons tomato paste
½ tsp pepper
½ cup frozen corn
½ cup frozen cut green beans


In a large sauce pan, bring 1 ½ cups water and vegetable or chicken broth to a boil.

Add soaked pinto beans, lentils, onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, tomato paste, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Add corn and green beans and simmer, covered for 15 minutes.
