Cannellini Bean Soup

Here is the story of Cannellini Bean Soup, brought to you by the Tiny Ass Kitchen:



One day I had some cannellini beans that I didn't know what to do with. And I thought I would use them to make a soup, but I would puree the beans.

Interesting huh?



So I put two cans in a pot and added about 5 cups of water.



The I broke out the immersion blender my Mommy got for me that I don't use as much as I should (and I really should because it's AWESOME - thanks Mom)...



And I took my aggression out on the beans and went to town. I messed up and brought it to high up and got some all over the stove, but it's ok, Danny will clean it, it's what he does best...



But I blended until all of the beans DISSAPPEARED! Woooooooooooooooo. Scary huh? (I'm in a mood, leave alone ;-) )



I turned on the stove under the bean mixture and added in two bullion cubes (veggie ones) and let it simmer.



While that did it's thing I started to chop up two carrots, a red bell pepper and an onion - which I did in my mini chop (just the onion) because they really hurt my eyes.



I threw them in a pot and let them soften and added in some garlic. I added in some cumin as well, it made the tiny ass kitchen smell lovely.




And then I added it to the bean mixture and let it cook down even more. While it cooked down I added in some pepper, and dried chives and oregano.



I wanted to do something a little special with the soup so I went into my fridge and pulled out two tortillas (99 cents at Aldi!) and cut them into little wedges on a baking sheet.



I coated them with just a touch of oil and a little bit of salt and baked them at 350 for 10 minutes, when they were ready to come out of the oven, the soup was ready as well.



Dinner was done and ready to be eaten by all in the Tiny Ass Apartment in West End.



And everyone in the Tiny Ass Apartment was wonderfully full with a warm feeling in their bellies.

The End.

(and don't worry, I didn't feed it to the cats.)
