Thursday: Chipotle and adzukis



Adzuki butternut squash soup.

It's always a little bit of a fuss to cook dried beans, but if you want to use interesting varieties and get their full flavor, it's worth it. We pre-cooked these whole adzukis for a couple of hours (unattended) before adding them to frozen pureed butternut squash and frozen tomatoes to make this soup. The recipe called for canned chipotle peppers, which added a smoky flavor. Now we'll have to find some other applications for them, since we have a few left over.
