Rosemary Red Bean Soup {Meals in Minutes}

October 14, 2011 by Faith 27 Comments

Rosemary Red Bean Soup

Rosemary always feels like Christmas to me. (And yes, it is way too early to be mentioning Christmas…or is it? ;) )

Anyway, this soup reminds me of Christmas, not only because of the piney smell of the rosemary, but also because of how warm and cozy it is…really perfect for warming up on a damp, chilly day.

Red Beans

It was purely coincidence, but I noticed after I took these pictures that the main accent colors I used are red and green. (How appropriate, eh? And now Mike will be laughing at me because I said “eh”, lol.) But I promise I’m not rushing things or wishing autumn away…no more talk of Christmas around here yet!

    THANK. YOU. I absolutely love to make soup in the fall and the winter but it’s so difficult to adapt a soup recipe to feed just 2 people. And even when I try and freeze half and work through the other half as leftovers, I inevitably end up throwing soup away and that’s just such a waste. But this sounds delicious AND it’s a quick soup recipe for two. Again… THANK YOU!!

    It’s funny that you mention things smelling like Christmas… today I was using cloves in some pumpkin butter and immediately felt like it was the Christmas season! It’s still far off, but who’s to say we can’t celebrate the smells of rosemary and cloves until then. The soup looks lovely!

    It is NEVER too early to talk about Christmas! Unless its mid-January, in which case it really isn’t welcome but I think its perfectly acceptable to talk about Christmas in mid October :P
    This soup looks wonderful and I was thinking autumnal your lovely pictures looked with the wooden bowls and the deep colours. I adore rosemary and this sounds like an awesome soup to be eating on one of these darkening chilly nights we’re having over here. Thank you for sharing!

    At first it would be an azuki bean soup, but I love kidney beans just as much. :)

    Simple indeed, but made special with that “piney” sprig of rosemary. very pretty styling, even if it is a little “Christmasy”
