I was a bit worry if my two litter lovers will reject the soup since it was so dark in colour, luckily they didn't. And I was surprised to learn that black beans are in fact a super nourishment food that has many nutritional value and health benefits, to name a few as below:
- Rich in antioxidants (prevent cancer and aging)
- High fiber (aid digestion and prevent constipation)
- Contain folate and magnesium (protect against heart disease, aids the blood, oxygen and nutrients flow in the body)
- Excellent source of protein
- Good source of Vitamin B1 & iron
- Low in calories and fat free
- Outstanding support for blood sugar balance and regulation
Black bean soup is certainly a good choice to warm up on cold winter days or anytime of the year to enjoy its nutrition essence.
Ingredients:
- 200g black beans
- Pork ribs or pork meat
- 6 red dates
- 2L water
- a dash of salt
Step:
- Rinse the black beans under cool running water and soak the black beans with water in a bowl
- Thoroughly clean the pork ribs/meat, rinse it with hot boiling water
- Bring 2L of water to boil in a pot, add the pork ribs/meat and black beans
- Cook and simmer under medium-low heat for 1.5 hours
- Add the red dates, continue to cook for another 15-20mins
- Add a dash of salt and stir well
- Serve warm
- Red dates may be added together with the pork ribs and black beans in step 3 if don't mind a heavier red dates taste
