White Beans Recipes

This filling vegetarian meal is nutritious and easy to make.

A simple easy meal. Very quick if you have the rice made ahead of time.

Another one-pot meal that tastes creamy, but doesn't have the fat of creamed soups. Guaranteed to warm you up and stick to your ribs!

I keep a lot of dried beans & grains on hand all the time. My family & I really like this soup. It tastes good & is so good for you. You can add some Tones Chicken Base if you'd like, or canned chicken broth, but have found it to be flavorful enough without. This is a taste good, feel good soup. When my family & I eat this, it's our main course, so we usually don't just restrict ourselves to 12 ozs. It's so good & a naturally light meal that it's filling without a lot of fat or calories. Feel free to doctor it to your hearts content. This is just a basic recipe & I add & subtract ingredients according to what's on hand.

Have some beans on hand for other recipes like minestrone or white bean dip

Dinner in a Dutch oven! Once you have assembled set in the oven and allow to stew all day to blend the flavors. Tasty, nutritious, filling. Wonderful on a dreary day. Add fresh baked bread or cornbread and you are done!

"Another one-pot meal that tastes creamy, but doesn't have the fat of creamed soups. Guaranteed to warm you up and stick to your ribs!" says MetalBabe in her original recipe. This is a remake of that soup by the same name with some changes (such as chicken broth, celery and puree). You can find her soup at https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-det

Easy vegetable soup with a kick (hot sauce!)

easy crockpot dish

Perfectly grilled vegetables with soft white beans salad is a simple side dish that is easy to prepare, flavorful and filling.

Lots of potassium and vitamin A!

I use organic ingredients.

Note on beans:
I use this year's organic dry beans obtained from the farmer.
I don't need to soak or pre cook them.
If you are using last year's beans or commercially bought beans, you'll need to soak them at least and maybe pre cook them.

Some pasta and white beans and tomatoes and garlic and stuff. Throwing it together to see what happens.

Hummus is a fantastic dip for raw vegetables, sliced apples, crackers, toast, crisp bread, flatbread or tortillas. It is also a great topping for rice, cooked vegetables and for pita or pocket sandwich filling.

This low fat hummus starts with a 9-serving box of Fantastic World Foods Original Hummus. I added a can of Luck's Fat Free Great Northern beans.

The listed serving size is 1/4 cup. I enjoy eating a half cup and using it as an entree.

This rib-warming slow cooked side dish is transformed to a flavorful, full fledged meal.

Serve with crusty bread and garnish with a sprinkle of chili powder, a drizzle of good olive oil, a dollop of fat free sour cream and some feta cheese, if desired. Celery is added late in the recipe to add crunch.

Variation on Pasta e Fagioli

Create a rustic Italian-style meal by serving this hearty dish with ciabatta and a glass of chilled white wine.

The traditional Cajun-style smoked meat, Tasso, gives this simple and satisfying dish a Lousiana flair. You can find packaged Tasso in some specialty or high-end grocers. Slow-cook this dish all day and then serve with rice for an easily prepared healthy, hearty supper.
