I've never been a bean eater but I understand they're a great source of protein. Please post if you have a yummy recipe that involves beans. If I had to choose a bean, I do like black beans a little bit.

I agree, and am looking forward to recipes and I like kidney beans...lol

My sister gave me a recipe for "8 Can Taco Soup" that I have fallen in love with. It could be use for any type of diet, from liquid or puréed to regular.

1 can black Beans drained and rinsed

1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

1 can chicken broth

1 can enchilada sauce

1 can corn, drained and rinsed

1 can diced tomatoes

1 large can chicken (I used two to increase protein)

1 packet taco seasoning

I cooked in the slow cooker for the whole day. I put it in the blender for the first day after a fill and ate it all chunky after the liquid phase.

I did nutritional info on it through My Fitness Pal. It has about 200 calories in one cup but it provides 20 grams of Protein when 2 cans of chicken are used.

Mine is like this other than I use fat free refried beans instead of enchilada sauce and I usually use ground turkey and 1 cup of chopped onion. I cook mine on top of stove.

Since I'm on the blended veggies & Soup, I skipped the corn & meat this time.That brought the calories to 120 per cup Still very good!

This is an excellent recipe!

that sounds so yummy that I'm going to the grocery and get the stuff tomorrow and make it Sunday for all next week to eat on, thank you thank you thank you! I've eaten taco soup before but didn't know what all was in it and I love canned chicken...woohoo, I'm stoked! If I wasn't already in my jammies now I would head to walmart now. ha

Portuguese soup..mmmm.You need Portuguese sausage.That kind of sausage is hard to find..google that soup.trust me its great.low fat
