ADZUKI BEAN SOUP
I've just discovered adzuki beans, and if you've never tried them, I strongly recommend them ! They are highly nutritious, and contain 25% protein, one of the highest ratios among beans. This spicy soup is a lovely way in which to make their acquaintance. My personal preference for the fresh garden herb mixture is half rosemary/half oregano, but by all means use what you like best !

ADZUKI BEAN SOUP
This is a mild soup that is healthy, simple, and quick. I used more soy sauce and I replaced the cubed squash with some pureed that I had in the freezer. I also added cayenne and red pepper flakes. I am also thinking some broth might be good in place of the water, for added flavor. From Eden Organic Foods.

Tips:
- Soak the adzuki beans overnight: Soaking the beans helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, potatoes, or green beans.
- Add some spices: Spices can help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Try adding some cumin, coriander, or paprika to the pot.
- Serve with a side of bread or rice: This soup is hearty and filling, but it can also be served with a side of bread or rice to make it even more satisfying.
