Three Bean Soup - Vegan & Vegetarian & So Delicious! via My Merry Messy Life

It's the middle of May and it's cold and raining outside. No fun! Perfect day to make soup with my sous-chef, Gabriel. This is the easiest, yummiest healthiest soup there is, and it has become a regular on our family's dinner menu! This comes to you courtesy of Pop Pop McFall, who makes it for him and Grammy often, and has shared it with us! I love making this soup because it's ridiculously easy and you can't mess it up, plus, Gabe loves to make it with me since there's lots of dumping and stirring involved!

It is also vegetarian and vegan (although check the can labels you buy to make sure), which goes well with my series on Eating Less Meat is Actually Very Green.

BPA Disclaimer
This recipe is made of almost all canned goods, almost all of which contain a BPA liner. Please read my other post on BPA in canned goods first, it's for the safety of you and your family! You can buy BPA-free canned goods, which I suggest below.

Now, onto the recipe!

NOTE: I wrote this recipe before I had learned about the importance of traditional cooking. Now I soak all of my grains and legumes before we eat them because it breaks down the proteins to make them easier to digest (and preventing fun farty flatulence).
