Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup.

It's delicious, prepared with or without the recommended canned tomatoes.
For those complaining about gas, properly soaked and a potato added (not eaten) helps a lot. Cooking to mush or a bit of soda works but messes with the flavor.
Do you eat beans regularly?
I’ve tried every remedy I’ve heard of to fix beans and none of them have worked. I’ve become convinced that people who eat beans regularly have different gut flora which properly digest the oligosaccharides without producing gas, but I can’t prove it.
When I boil my beans, I add bay leaf to the water. I think it helps.
But I made a white bean, cabbage, bacon, chop tomato soup for dinner last night, no gas. My husband didn’t have gas…
I didn’t do the bay leaf thing this time, so idk. I think beans just have hella fiber, and idk if your from the US or not, but I’ve read a few times over the years, many people here don’t get enough fiber day to day in the states.
I think the gas has more to do with folks who don’t often eat high fiber foods. When you then, do, it gives you issues.
You’re probably at least somewhat right, if you have beans often, they digest more easily. I had guessed it was because they have high fiber though. It also could have to do with eating under cooked beans, which is never a good idea.
Semi regularly, I guess. I think you're probably right.
I eat beans basically as my main diet and don’t really soak or rinse them or anything, have no digestive issues from it.
a potato added (not eaten)
This is a sin
Eat that potato and your guts will confirm your sn...
So the potato is a sin eater?
🤣 I guess so!

I’m sorry, what? You add potato to the soup, then remove it before serving like a bay leaf?
