I found an old recipe I'd forgotten about while sorting through paper...
It's 100 degrees out, but I made soup! It's a nice soup for summer though
It makes the house smell HEAVENLY!
White Bean Soup with Arugula and Lemon Zest
3 cups (ehhh... give or take) dried white beans
4-5 cups of water
1.5 tsp salt
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 bunch arugula or other green (today I used beet greens cuz it's what I had)
3 T lemon zest (make it yourself)
Soak beans overnight.
Bring water, beans, salt, bay leaves and rosemary to boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for an hour or two, however long it takes until beans are tender.
Discard the bay leaves and rosemary.
Add pepper, arugula, and zest and continue to simmer until greens are wilted.
Serve! Or save it in the fridge for another day and reheat... it gets even better.
I didn't have fresh rosemary so I put some dried rosemary in a tea ball and simmered it, then removed. Also, I like to add a bit of Better Than Bouillion to the water.
I'll have a nice baked potato on the side.

)! They're gluten-free, sugar-free & from a local bakery up in Washington. I added to that sliced strawberries & melon. It was so good I had it two days in a row!
