Double Bean Soup

BODACIOUS BEAN & BARLEY SOUP
p. 78 GOV
Prepared 1/27/2010

When dealing with newly-finicky five year old palates, nomenclature is everything. So instead of telling my son that we were having Bodacious Bean & Barley Soup, which would surely have hit an immediate dead end, I just told him we were having Double Bean Soup. It was missing a little...something...so I added cracked red pepper, a bay leaf, whole cumin seeds, paprika, extra tumeric, frozen lima beans (theres the double bean), frozen spinach and a handful of pasta.

The verdict?

"Mmmmmmm! This double bean soup tastes GOOD!!!!"
