Looking for a tasty soup recipe that doesn’t require all day to make? A soup with a bite without any meat or poultry? Then this is your recipe. Are you ready to see how you can make kidney bean soup? Let’s get started!

A lot of vegan recipes contain beans not without reason. Beans contain a lot of protein (24 grams per 100 grams), are low in fat (0,8 grams per 100 grams) and high in fiber.

They taste great and as such a great replacement for meat. This is one of the best soups ever.

What is great about this recipe is that you get a thick and filling soup that you can eat for lunch and easily for dinner.

Just add a little more vegetables, make some (cheesy) bread that you can eat on the side and you are done. Making soup yourself can be very easy.

When I was young we would eat soup on the weekend and a pan of soup would be on the stove all day long to infuse the soup with lots of flavors.

Well, those days are gone now. You can make soup in half an hour or less. The longer you leave it on though the better it tastes.

Make it today and eat it tomorrow, even better.
