Red Beans & Greens Crock-Pot Soup
When I was asked to do several culinary demonstrations for Glory Foods at the Southern Women’s Show here in Nashville, I jumped at the opportunity. I love their products, especially the Sensibly Seasoned items because even though they are low in sodium, fat, and cholesterol, they all have great flavor! And I’m all about convenient cooking. So if I can make a delicious, healthy meal using canned products, you better believe that’s what I’ll do! This soup features the Sensibly Seasoned Red Beans and Mixed Greens. The other great ingredient in this soup is farro. If you haven’t tried farro yet (pronounced far-oh), it’s a great grain for soups, as a salad topper, or as a side dish. With a slightly chewy texture and nutty flavor, farro is high in fiber and has 7g of protein per 1/4 cup serving.
I’m pretty sure the worst cook in America could prepare this soup without difficulty.
Ingredients
1-14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
1-15.5 oz can Glory Foods Sensibly Seasoned®Red Beans
½ cup diced white onion
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 cup farro or barley
½ tsp. chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp. Glory Foods®Hot Sauce
Black pepper
1 cup Glory Foods Sensibly Seasoned ®Mixed Greens
Didn’t I tell you it was easy?
Disclosure: I was compensated by Glory Foods to provide culinary demonstrations. I did not receive compensation to promote their products or this recipe on my blog.
Wow. This recipe sounds good, yummy and delicious. Red bean is certainly new to me since I am used to the usual mongo beans and the canned beans that I have eaten before. Where can I get farro or barley? And is there an alternative ingredient if the canned red beans is not available?
Thanks for the comment! You could substitute blackeyed peas or chili beans for the red beans. And I found farro at Whole Foods, but you can find barley at most grocery stores.
It sounds Delicious and really easy to make. You make my day KARMAN. Thanks for sharing this. I love to use Red beans. Keep on posting recipies like this.
