Meal #4 Creamy Bean Soup and Sides




Menu:
Creamy Bean Soup
Popcorn
Pineapple Tidbits and Craisins


Maybe you can think of a cute name for this meal. I love popcorn so much, I sometimes serve it with a meal. It goes perfect with the Creamy Bean Soup...it is a whole grain, to complement the protein in the beans. The dessert is a nice contrast with its red and yellow colors. Dessert is pineapple tidbits with craisins sprinkled on top.

Creamy Bean Soup

Put 1 cup water in pot and bring to boil. Add (Slowly while stirring)...
1/4 cup instant potatoes (taken from my packet)
Take off heat for 10 seconds. Return to burner and add
2 1/4 cups water
1 15 oz. can pinto beans, (including the liquid)
1 16 oz. can refried beans )
a few twists of freshly ground black pepper
Stir until contents of the pot are well blended and nice and hot.

Makes about 6 cups of delicious soup!
