Bean flour recipes

[ricardo]

Everytime I go to the store I grab a bag of beans. They are

cheap, easy to store and very filling.

 

I am looking for bean flour recipes. Here are a few but

I am looking for more.

3-MINUTE ÒCREAM OF CHICKENÓ SOUP

3 c. boiling water

1 T. chicken bouillon or soup base

1/2 c. fine white bean flour

1 c. diced chicken pieces (opt.)

In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk bean flour into boiling water and flavoring. Stir and cook 3 minutes. Blend 1 minute for a ÒsouperÓ creamy texture. Add chicken, if used. Serves 2-3. (For vegetarians, use vegetable bouillon, or ÒchickenÓ flavored soup mix in place of chicken bouillon.) This soup can be used as a gravy that not only tastes good, but is good for you because it is fat free! For those who use milk, you can use one-half milk or add about 1/4 cup evaporated milk to cooked soup. Non-dairy creamer may also be added (about 1/4 cup). Great for gravy or cream sauce.

 

This soup is also excellent with pasta and/or up to 1 1/2 cups cooked potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, etc. Use 1 cup more water (4 cups total) and cook veggies until tender, then whisk in bean flour and cook 2 minutes after soup thickens.

 

Also great with a little curry powder and served as a gravy over brown rice

You grind them a grinder like you would wheat.

from white beans then made some of the mock cream of ckicken
