Laura's Veggie Bean Soup

Bean Veggie Soup J

• 230g cooked white beans (whole can if not homemade)
• 270g cooked black beans (whole can if not homemade)
• 6 C veggie stock
• 200g onion
• 15g garlic
• 311g orange sweet potato
• 80g celery
• 236g carrots
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 tsp dried dill
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• ½ tsp salt

I throw all of the above into my Instant Pot and pressure cook for 30 minutes with a NPR.

I put 700g into a couple of quart jars (that's two 350g servings) and keep the rest for eating that week. I like cooking big and freezing food. If I'm going to all the trouble to chop, clean, and cook... I want to be making extra for sure.

Oh, you may notice I use grams rather than ounces or cup measurements. I like grams. I have a kitchen scale that makes it super easy for me to keep track of my measurements.  Moving forward I'll try to put U.S. measurements when I can remember to.

In the table below, I don't have any stats on my veg stock.  The measurements are slightly different each time I make it depending what veggies and amounts I throw in.  But I don't think my veg stock adds any serious amount of calories, so I don't worry about its calculation.
