Sodium is an essential mineral and we need it. Don’t let the current medical dogma paradigm scare you out of eating salt. It’s just another hair-brained idea that makes no sense.

Beans should always be bought fresh, in bulk if you wish, and soaked overnight before use. Canned beans are a problem because the can linings contain BPA. I like pink beans and navy beans mixed together to make bean soup.

I made this soup recently and it was a hit! I wasn’t sure about just using dill, so I cut back on that and added marjoram, paprika, celery seed, and basil. Next time I might add some fresh thyme and parsley, too. I liked it with the potatoes cut nice and small. I’ll add some onion next time too.

Hi FJ,

Yes, the sodium would be from the broth and some from beans (if you used canned instead of from dried beans like I did). You can either cut the broth with water or just buy low sodium broth, which is what I did but I didn’t think to specify that when I went into my nutrition calculator program. You can also make your own broth, but I don’t do that often unless I’m making a soup with chicken in it – then I just throw a stewing chicken in the crock pot, and when I get home I skim off the fat and use the liquid it cooked in as chicken broth.Crazy how much sodium is in canned foods!

Good stuff Wendy, looks awesome. Its kinda making me hungry.

Though, the sodium count is a lil up there… wondering if it’s from the broth? If I do a 60/40 spit with broth/water how do you expect that to turn out?

I love soup. I could eat it six days a week. Only six because I have to have Mexican food at least once a week. Now if I make tortilla soup, then it’s a great day cause it’s like getting my soup and my mexican food. On days like that, life is good.

This year has been the first year that I have been soup-crazy! Lentil soup is my fave right now….

Thanks for stopping by and sharing my SITS day with me!

I would use vegetable stock, but other than that, this soup is pressing all the right flavour buttons for me.

I would have to say that this was one of the best things you’ve made. It was so good I went back for seconds and thirds. lol
