Low amine bean and greens soup

I was feeling under the weather, and needed some hearty soup to help clear the evil out of my body, so decided to throw together a low amine soup.

7 C homemade vegetable broth

1 C water

1 C chopped flat leaf parsley, stems included

1 bunch bok choy, chopped (or half a small head napa cabbage)

1 C mixed dried beans

1 medium sweet potato

2 small Russet potatoes, peeled

Juice of 1/2 lime (omit and add a little more ascorbic acid, for lower amine)

4 Tbsp minced ginger

2 Tbsp minced garlic (about 8 cloves)

5 Tbsp minced shallot (about 1 1/2 shallots)

4 Tbsp safflower oil

1/2 C fresh, organic apple juice (optional)

2 Tbsp ground cumin

1 1/2 tsp turmeric

1 tsp rosemary

1 large bay leaf

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

Frozen broth and mixed beans

  • In a medium sized stock pot, bring pre-made vegetable (or other stock) broth to a boil, add beans, and reduce to low simmer.
  • Add parsley, cumin, turmeric, bay leaf, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cover.
  • Heat a separate sauce pan to medium high. Add oil and minced garlic, ginger, and shallot. Stir often and cook for about 3 minutes, or until fragrant and garlic has started to brown.

Cooking shallot, ginger, and garlic

  • Add cooked spices to stock pot. Simmer for an hour or until beans are done.
  • Add bok choy / napa cabbage, lime / ascorbic acid, and water. Cover and cook for 15 minutes on low (just barely simmering).
  • Chop sweet potato and Russet potatoes into small, bite sized pieces. Add to the pot.
  • Add apple juice.
  • Cook for additional 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Low amine bean and greens soup is done when the largest beans in the soup are cooked through.
