Canned Beans (freezing/reheating)

yummy · « **on:** January 01, 2009, 22:36 »

If I make a tuscan bean soup using canned beans is it ok to freeze it and reheat it again later? Will the beans be ok?

Cheers (have loads of cavolo nero to eat and this soup should use it nicely)

yes

but reheat gently or the beans will break up, mind you not a disaster as they'll make the soup good and thick

Sounds delish, and well done on the Cavolo.

try growing some beans this year (if you haven't already done so) as they're easy. Thinking borlotti beans which are a doddle

I love beans at the moment. Don't suppose you would post the three bean soup recipe please Yummy?

I have tried the past two years but lost them to frost and by the time I got some more going they were too late. End of season and they still weren't ready. Also had flooded plot year before that. :cry:

Promise to try again this year

Sure it is a Jill Dupleix recipe and I found it here: LINK You can also get it in her book Lighten Up (I bought it for my friend for her birthday)
