Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 9 cups, serving 4 as a main course

Ingredients

3/4 cup dried cannellini beans (about 5 ounces), picked over
12 cups water
3/4 cup dried lentils
1/3 cup bulgur
1/3 cup long-grain white rice
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 medium onions, halved lengthwise and sliced thin
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
cayenne to taste
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, washed, dried, and minced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a 4-quart heavy saucepan simmer cannellini beans in water 10 minutes. Stir in lentils, bulgur, rice, coriander, and cinnamon and simmer until cannellini are very tender and lentils fall apart, about 45 minutes. (Old beans may take longer to cook.)

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 450°F.

    Step 3

    In a shallow baking pan toss together onions, oil, salt, and cayenne and roast in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir onions and parsley into soup and simmer 1 minute.
