Sometimes things don’t work out the way you planned them. This dinner was one of them. I make my menu out a week at a time, from which I make my grocery list. Sometimes I miss a few things. Tonight I missed many things. I will give you the recipe how I made it, not what it called for. Luckily it turned out well, this was a yummy stew.
1 1/2 cups dried Great Northern Beans
1 1/2 cups dried garbonzo beans
5 cups water/broth
1 carrot
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3-4 tsp HerbN’ Renewal Soup and Stew seasoning (don’t bother you won’t find it, unless you live near Lexington, KY and know where the Liquor Barn is)
1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
2 Tbsp tomato paste
Throw it all in the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
If you happen to live near Lexington….
If not try: 1Tbsp dried parsley, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1 bay leaf.
What you might have also noticed is that the soup is called 3 Bean Cassoulet, and the recipe only has 2 beans, the third bean is suppose to be dried lima beans.
One thing I love about the fall, seasonal hard apple cider:
[...] my grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. Menu for the week: Saturday: Leftover 3 Bean Cassoulet Sunday: Roasted Chicken breasts with balsamic vinaigrette, roasted sweet potatoes, garlicky [...]

Hi! You’re welcome. I’ve found that the Herb’N Renewal is also great with fresh butter beans simmered with garlic and onions, a summer time favorite.
