Looking for a vegetarian recipe, but at the same time, rich in vitamins and nutrients? Try making tomato bean soup puree.
It invariably turns out hearty, tasty and fragrant. And extremely useful, especially for vegetarians, who are often deficient in protein foods. Those who eat meat will also like this soup, but they want something quick and easy.
Bean soup is cooked very quickly even from dry beans, besides, you can always use ready-made canned beans. It is curious that it saturates well and does not burden the stomach.

Tips & variations

Beans are one of the most common crops from the legume family. And it is the most important plant of agriculture in South and Central America, and one of the most ancient cultures in the world. At first it was grown as an ornamental plant, but over time, this vegetable crop has become widely used in cooking!

Bean protein is very similar to meat protein, and is absorbed by the body by three quarters, so beans are its most valuable source.

Beans contain a huge amount of vitamin C. More than, for example, apricots or plums.
