I love bean soup, but with my favorite person gone I haven't made it because there is no recipe for a one- or two-serving meal. I miss it, though, so I decided to make a big pot and freeze what I couldn't eat.
I make an evolved version of my mom's vegetable bean soup; This recipe is pretty close to what I do. Mine is basically a large package of Hearst Has-Beans 15 beans soup, lemon juice, diced onion, diced celery, diced potato, a medium can of tomato sauce and a small can of shoepeg corn. I simmer the beans by themselves for an hour, drain the pot (discarding the water also gets rid of what causes gas), add in ten cups of new water and all the other ingredients, and cook on a very low heat for six hours. Also I don't use the seasoning packet that comes with the beans but throw in my own herbs, usually thyme, rosemary and some black pepper. If you have an Insta-Pot you can probably make it a lot faster.
The end result is very filling, freezes well and is quite tasty. A nice meal with homemade biscuits.
