    Looking for ways to add more beans to your meals? These bean soup recipes make great comfort food, and they’re easy on your wallet, too!

    Comforting bean soup recipes in bowls

    There’s just something about having a big pot of bean soup simmering on your stove. Whether you’re trying to use up dried beans or canned beans from your food storage, or simply want to integrate more beans into your meal plan, these bean soups and stews are sure to be a hit in your family.

    Be sure to make a good crusty bread to serve alongside your steaming bowl of soup. If you have about three hours you’ll want to make my pretzel bread recipe (with a bread machine dough). If you only have an hour or so, then you’ll love my one-hour crusty french bread recipe. It’s so easy, it’s foolproof!

    Now, let’s have soup!

    This Carrot and Lentil Soup recipe is packed full of flavor! Crispy bacon and a splash of white wine compliments the lentils and carrots, creating a hearty, filling soup that’s an easy family favorite. 

    Easy African Groundnut Soup (Peanut Butter Soup) With Chicken

    When we first started making this peanut butter soup recipe for our family nearly ten years ago, it seemed so odd to put peanut butter into a soup. Since then, I’ve learned that this is also called Groundnut Soup or African Peanut Stew. We still call it “peanut butter soup” in our house! It's full of white beans, sweet potato, corn, and shredded chicken.
