Bean and Brown Rice Soup with Cumin Seed with Chef Dahnaya
Pour into a large pot 1 cup of brown rice and 1 cup of dry beans, any type is fine.
Add water until it is at least 2 inches above the brown rice and beans.
Allow to soak over night. Pour out the water and then pour in fresh water with at least 2 inches of water above the brown rice and beans.
Bring to a full boil. After boiling, allow to continue to boil for 15 minutes.
Keep boiling. If most of the water is gone, add a cup or two more water.
Add:
1 quart broth. I used vegetable broth.
Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon cumin seed.
Add vegetables:
Wash and cut into small pieces. You can add whatever you like. Sometimes I like to add onions and peppers. In the above video, I added:
2 potatoes
7 green tomatoes (from my garden)
1 stalk of bok choy (I added the hard stalk first)
I then added the softer items
The green part of the bok choy
Parsley
allow to boil or simmer for at least another 10 minutes. I like things crunchy. My wife prefers things much more soft, in which case you will need to allow everything to simmer until soft.
I like it quite well just like this. Some may prefer a chicken or beef broth and some meat cut up into small pieces.
