Soup made simple! With cooked beans on hand, you don't need much else for a terrific soup. This combination of heirloom beans, Spanish chorizo, chicken broth, tomato, and fried tortilla strips is always a winner. Link to recipes https://buff.ly/3XbSjdq

I’m cooking from the @ranchogordo.bsky.social Bean Book. this is polenta with borlotti beans and tomato sauce. (I used cranberry beans here but hope to some day get my hands on the borlotti lamon variety mentioned in the book.) it’s a great dish for chilly weather. #food #cooking #cookbooks

Damn, but I need a break. I was in Mexico last month. Oaxaca and Michoacan. Here are some snaps from Michoacan. After you are caught up, turn off the news for the day. There's plenty more tomorrow.

Italians have a rich tradition of pairing pasta and beans, or pasta e fagioli. This simple soup hails from the Veneto region of Italy, and it's a classic recipe from Judith Barrett’s (@judithbarrett) book Fagioli: The Bean Cuisine of Italy. Link to recipes https://buff.ly/4gSAbMX

This vegan lentil stew, from Kiera Wright-Ruiz's (@kierawrr) new cookbook My (Half) Latinx Kitchen, is traditionally served in Ecuador as a side dish, but it's flavorful enough to enjoy on its own. Photo credit: @laurenviedallen Link to recipes https://buff.ly/4i5sjIC

I could have sworn I was older, but I was 13 when I went to Fresno for the UFW convention. We slept in a park, and I met Cesar Chavez's parents. We marched along a highway, single file, singing De Colores and Nostros Venceremos (We Shall Overcome). There were hundreds of us. The seed was planted.

Jaíne Mackievicz (@mackievicz, https://buff.ly/3QocCk2), a Brazilian food writer, recipe developer, and Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, gave our Marcella beans the French treatment with a bean soup inspired by French Onion Soup. Don’t skimp on the cheesy topping!

This coconut, tomato, and bean soup with ginger and spices from our friend Teri Adolfo (https://buff.ly/4hUfHEe) ticks all the boxes: flavorful, quick to prepare, and nutritious. She makes it often in her electric pressure cooker and tells us it takes her 20 minutes start to finish!

This recipe is simple but with our Moro beans and good longaniza, you’ll have a feast. Moros are a rare bean from Mexico with a firm texture and an out-of-this-world bean broth. You can substitute them with black beans but the Moros have a little something extra.
