😋
Me: Navy bean soup with ham, celery, carrots, and onion.

[ginnyinWI]

1. looks good but I'd make a vegetarian version.

I also love chili and split pea soup. Minestrone--yum. And I will eat chickpeas right out of the can!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

33. Love it! 😋

[Siwsan]

2. That's my favorite, too

I've plans to roast a small ham, this week, and then follow that up with a nice pot of Navy Bean soup.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

34. Yum! 😋

[hlthe2b]

3. Still finishing my New Year's garlicky black eye peas with onion andouille & turkey bacon

A doctored version of Emeril Lagasse's recipe...


The only bean I've found I just can't handle is Lima Beans. Yuck.

[Polly Hennessey]

4. Dear hlthe2b,

I will gladly take your Lima Bean portion. I love, love 💕, love them. Floyd, I could eat your Navy Bean Soup every day. You may now call me Polly Bean.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

36. I'm with you on the Limas Ms. Bean! 😋

[Floyd R. Turbo]

35. Nice! 😋

[femmocrat]

5. I like all of them except red kidney beans.

Love a good pot of bean soup!

[Major Nikon]

7. No red beans and rice?

Perish the thought!

[femmocrat]

8. Never had that! Is it good?

I use white cannelloni beans for chili. Red kidney beans seem “tough" to me.

[Major Nikon]

10. It's like the best beans evah!

I'm no expert on kidney beans, but some are a deep red in color while others are more pale. I suspect the ones that are more deep red have a different starch content as they seem to be the choice for when you want a more firm bean like chili con carne, although some consider it sacrilege to include them.

As far as red beans and rice go, the ones that are pale are the ones you want to use. Some people swear by Camellia brand, which is what I use.

20. Try maharagwe ... red beans cooked in coconut milk.

Had this at the Mountain People's Restaurant & Co-op in Morgantown, WV. They got the recipe from an African magazine, IIRC.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

38. Nice to get wild now and again! ✌🏻

[Generic Brad]

9. I picked a good day to make a batch of chili!

I started cooking my beans the moment I woke up. By 9:00 AM I had everything prepped and ready for the slow cooker. I love beans.

[Luciferous]

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[Polly Hennessey]

28. Oh, mitch96, have you been demoted to 95.

Many of us love our National days. Gives us a chance to talk about “stuff” other than the Idiots ramblings. Christmas is over, don’t be so cranky.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

44. "Demoted"!

[mitch96]

56. Ahhhh squashrot...

Wait, what?

And I love black bean soup.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

45. Black bean soup with crumbled Cotija! 😋

[eppur_se_muova]

21. Brazilian Feijoada (Black Bean Stew)

The original version inicludes pork; I've had it with wheat gluten (not an option for everybody) but other vegetarian and vegan recipes abound. Spicy and savory !

[kwassa]

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[The Polack MSgt]

68. I don't have much of a sweet tooth

But around New Year's in Japan they make Anko (Red Sweet-bean) steamed buns that are pretty tasty.

The jellies, ice cream and rice cake are too cloying for me tho

[Kali]

58. aww I missed your post yesterday

though I did have some beans! pintos with bacon or a ham bone are the staple around here, but I will eat any but kidneys or limas. (I will eat those too, but won't choose them on purpose)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

59. Ham bones! 😋

[Marthe48]

60. Made ham and bean soup last week

I'm soaking some beans overnight and then making traditional baked beans tomorrow, for the first time. Using a recipe from a 1930s Metropolitan Life Insurance recipe pamphlet.

beans, mustard, molasses, and pork. Slow-baked. I hope it is the bean recipe I wanted. If nit, it'll still be good

[Floyd R. Turbo]

61. Yummy! 😋

[yellowdogintexas]

62. I have yet to meet a bean I did not like

but some are more favored than others

I grew up on Great Northern beans with cornbread, and my grandmother's green tomato ketchup on the side. In summer we would have cucumbers from the garden in vinegar and sliced tomatoes. Sweet tea, of course.

Really good red beans and rice - food of the gods.

Black bean soup ditto

[Floyd R. Turbo]

63. Me either! 😋

[yellowdogintexas]

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[smirkymonkey]

75. I love Cannelini beans (White Kidney Beans)

They are big in Italian cooking. One of my favorite go to dishes is Pasta e fagioli. I like other beans as well, especially in soup.

Pasta e fagioli:

[Floyd R. Turbo]

[DFW]

78. Chicken with Szechaun black bean sauce

Hands down

[geardaddy]

79. Anything with fermented black bean sauce for me.

80. Greek beans.

My local Greek place makes them a sublime addition to a gyro platter or chicken saganaki.

[geardaddy]

82. Yum!

[geardaddy]

81. That soup looks delish!

Any kind of bean, except limas for me.

I love making Italian sausage with cannellini beans, garlic and escarole.

[akraven]

83. Any of them - as long as there's cornbread! nt
