Bean soup with vegetables - by Cvijeta Mesić
Bean soup with vegetables by Cvijeta Mesić - Beans are often prepared in the form of soups with vegetables.
There are people who say that beans are difficult for them to digest, and this usually happens when the beans are not cooked properly. Here's a tip to avoid this: the beans must be soaked in cold water for several hours. That water is thrown away. (If you want, you can cook them in the water they were soaked in, it does not affect the length of cooking or the taste). But cooking beans in fresh water eliminates digestive problems. When the water in which the beans are cooked begins to boil, reduce the heat and cook for about fifteen minutes, with the obligatory removal of the foam that forms during boiling. It will also help digest the beans better. Then it is covered and cooked on moderate heat. The cooking time varies, depending on the type of beans we are cooking. (And when we cook beans in a pressure cooker, it is good to cook them uncovered for the first fifteen minutes, removing the foam.) It is useful to add a bay leaf or a piece of kombu seaweed at the beginning of cooking, because both contain ingredients that help the digestive system.
