Lent 2012

Well here we go again! I'm going to TRY to get at least 3 recipes a week up this Lent.

So here goes!

Lenten Bean Soup

1# small white beans

2 large carrots small dice

2 ribs of celery small dice

1 leek cut in 1/2 lengthwise and sliced

1 small bunch kale chopped fine

1 tsp (more or less) red pepper flakes

1 tsp black pepper

1 Tbs fennel seeds

8 oz. ditallini or orzo or any small sized pasta

1 qt. vegetable broth

salt to taste

Put all ingredients except kale and pasta in a crock pot and cook on high for 6 hours. Add the kale and pasta for the last hour.
