1 Review of 2 Bean Soup (Crock Pot)

3 Stars, pleasantly different and mellow soup with the basil pistou. DH said 3 stars, he's hard core carnivore, I would give 3.5; I would make changes to thicken the soup when I make it again (carrot or potato-garlic puree or add another can of beans already pureed or pressure cook with a ham hock or ham bone to draw out the gelatin), I would probably use a pressure cooker to intensify the flavors, and a non-vegetarian would welcome the addition of a roasted ham hock. This took much longer to prepare for the crock pot than I usually spend, and the end result was a thinner soup than I prefer. Thank goodness I had a bushy basil plant; it looks well-pruned now. The parmesan cheese ended up sticking to the spoon and bowl, requiring careful elbow-greased cleaning. Accepting the soup for what it is, I enjoyed it, but I would prefer more depth to the taste and I would have to add ham for DH on the next go-round. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
