I had bought some dried kidney beans months ago, and never got around to doing any cooking with them, so I tried making a soup as an experiment. I used all the beans (3lbs. dried), and added in some tomatoes, which stewed in, and some chili powder, and then I chopped up some bunches of green onions, fresh corn kernels off the cob, celery stalks, and carrot sticks in there, and let it boil down for like 3 hours or so.
I then cooled it outside on my window sill, and have kept the pot there, since it's very cold out now and I don't have room in my fridge.
Anyhow, the soup is very good, but since I made too much, I've had one friend over for soup, and sent some home with two others who I had drop by with tupperware. And, those two were vegan and usually eat a lot of vegan processed foods, so I was happy to provide them with good cooking! Both liked it, though one added brown rice, and the other a shitload of pepper.

Red kidney is the king of beans.
I'm sending this post to my mom.
The recipe is very simple. My philosophy of cooking is fresh vegetables and a few spices - no processed foods, no expensive ingredients.
