    You’ll love this recipe for Portuguese bean soup! It’s healthy and simple to prepare.

    DANIEL FAST RECIPES - PORTUGUESE BEAN SOUP

     

    One of our Daniel Fast meals this week was this Portuguese bean soup; it’s a regular around here when we are cleansing, and it fits the requirements for the Daniel Fast as well.

    Normally, I would only use white beans such as cannellini or great northern, but I was low on white beans so I added in some red kidney beans to make up the difference.

    It’s a great soup to make whether you’re vegan, plant based, or simply trying to eat more clean.

    Enjoy!

    Portuguese Bean Soup Recipe

    Here’s what you’ll need:

    2 tbsp olive oil
    1 coarsely chopped sweet onion
    2 cloves garlic
    6 cups vegetable broth
    2 cups water
    1 sweet potato, peeled and diced in 1/2 inch pieces
    1 can diced tomatoes
    4 cups white beans (I like cannellini beans best)
    1 cup frozen chopped collard greens or other leafy greens
    dash of chili powder

    Heat oil in a stock pot or dutch over over medium high heat.  Add onion and garlic, and saute for about three minutes.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer.  Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently until sweet potatoes are tender.  Ladle into bowls.

    If you read the labels for boxed crackers at your supermarket or health food store, you should be able to find some that are made only of whole wheat, oil, and salt.  They are yummy crumbled on top and add a nice texture to the soup.

    Blessings to you today!

      I've never seen this version of Portuguese bean soup before. We usually put Portuguese sausage into ours. Your version of it though looks so colorful, flavorful, and healthy.

      Jasmine, we are doing well! Thanks for asking.

      Lisa, I bet that sausage would be wonderful in it if we weren't fasting or cleansing. I'll keep that in mind!
