For quick and easy, I love Progresso’s Lentil with Roasted Vegetables soup served over brown rice. It’s so comforting and hearty, especially on bleak, blustery winter days.

White bean, kale and sausage stew is a favorite in my house as is ham and white bean soup. We love our pork products over here!

I just saw these bean recipes on the Washington Post website today. They look good.

I just discovered Trader Joe's canned refried beans. Delicious. I use them in Mexican dishes.

I’ve never tried those, but I like the Old El Paso fat free variety.

I think it was a NYTimes recipe... cook some tomato paste in a skillet, mix in white beans (already cooked), cover in cheese, finish under broiler and eat with nice crusty bread.

I like this version of that recipe (more cheese!): https://www.theendlessmeal.com/cheesy-white-bean-tomato-bake/

This cookbook also looks amazing: https://www.amazon.com/Cool-Beans-Ultimate-Versatile-Plant-Based/dp/0399581480

Some good suggestions here! I love beans once the weather turns cooler. Serious eats's vegan bean chili is excellent and makes a huge amount so you can freeze it for later. I love Indian bean dishes like chana, rajma , dal makhani but also the South Indian coconut-based curries. Heidi Swanson's website, Ottolenghi books have good bean recipes and Joe Yonan has a great book called Cool Beans with tons of good ideas.
