Quick Broth or Soup

Quick Broth or Soup

"Soups to Savor: Beans add nutrients and healthy, filler fiber ... and they're cheap" by Michael Hastings. Beans: lentils, pintos, black, kidney, cannellini, etc. One-hour broth make with ground meat: a good compromise between true, homemade stock and store-bought. If desired, replace a quart of the water with store-bought chicken broth, omit the salt and reduce the simmering time to about 30 minutes. Use this recipe for the Meatball and White-Bean Soup.
