Soups are perfect for winters and autumns or just any day you want to eat right. They hydrate you ,make you balance all the junk you ate. I love chunky soups. Something you can eat with bread while watching your favorite web series. I love bean recipes whether you make a avocado salad or cannellini bean soup they fill you up.
I have grown up eating chickpeas and rajma/ red kidney bean and they are perfect when I want some rajma chawal and chole masala over the weekend. However, living abroad introduced me to Mexican salads and bean buritto bowls. They are easy to cook and are loaded with proteins. They can be stored in your dry pantry and are perfect when you have less veggies at home.
