Food for thought:  Did you know that dried white beans are versatile, affordable and packed full of goodness?  

Loaded into these simple looking little beans you'll find antioxidants, fiber, protein, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper and zinc.   Eating regularly, they may help decrease the risk of diabetes, heart disease, colon cancer, and help with weight management as they make you feel full so you tend to eat less.

Did I mention they were cheap?!

One of the ways I like to use these magic little beans is in soups, like this super simple one below.  In this particular recipe, I've pureed the beans to help make it a thick more velvety soup, however feel free to keep it chunky if that's what floats your boat.
