Description

This French Market Soup Mix is a pantry staple designed to create a robust, comforting broth with minimal effort. By combining a diverse array of dried beans, peas, and barley, you unlock a depth of flavor that mimics traditional French market stalls. The mix includes navy and great northern beans for creaminess, split peas for body, and barley for a chewy texture. It is perfect for making large batches of soup to freeze for busy weeknights or serving at cozy gatherings. This vegan-friendly blend allows you to control the seasoning and richness, resulting in a wholesome, nutrient-dense meal that warms the soul.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Measure out 1 pound each of navy beans, great northern beans, green split peas, yellow split peas, black-eyed peas, lentils, baby limas, black beans, red beans, soy beans, and barley pearls.
  2. Place all dried beans, peas, lentils, and barley into a large, clean mixing bowl.
  3. Gently toss the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed throughout the bowl.
  4. Divide the combined mixture into 14 individual packages or resealable bags, aiming for approximately 2 cups of mix per package.
  5. Seal the packages tightly and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use for cooking.

Note

To cook: Rinse one package of the soup mix thoroughly. Place in a slow cooker or large pot, add 8-10 cups of vegetable broth and aromatic vegetables (onion, carrots, celery). Simmer for 3-4 hours in a slow cooker or 45-60 minutes on the stovetop until beans are tender.

Storage: Keep the dry mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark pantry for up to 6 months for best flavor.

Variation: Add a bay leaf and fresh thyme during cooking for enhanced French flavors.
