Bean soup is a hearty and nutritious dish with roots in various global cuisines, from Mediterranean to Latin American. It typically features beans such as navy, black, or pinto, simmered with vegetables like onions, celery, and carrots, alongside herbs and spices for flavor. Some versions may include a protein like ham or sausage for added richness. Noted for its high fiber and plant-based protein content, bean soup supports digestive health, maintains steady energy, and promotes heart health. It's also rich in essential vitamins and minerals like iron, magnesium, and folate. However, sodium levels can be high in pre-packaged or canned varieties, so opting for homemade versions allows for better control of salt content. This versatile soup is a wholesome comfort food that can fit into many dietary patterns while providing a satisfying and nourishing meal.
