👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Rinse the soaked beans thoroughly. In a large pot, combine the beans with vegetable broth and cook over low heat for about 1.5 hours, or until tender.
- 2
While the beans are cooking, heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and diced carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- 3
Add the sautéed vegetables to the pot with the beans. Stir in the diced pumpkin, oregano, and bay leaf. Continue to simmer until the beans and pumpkin are tender, about 20-30 minutes more.
- 4
Add the soup noodles to the pot and cook according to package directions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.
- 5
Stir in the crumbled Queso Paraguay and chopped parsley. Cook for another minute until the cheese is melted and the soup has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
💡 Dicas Profissionais
- ✓For a creamier texture, you can mash some of the cooked beans against the side of the pot before adding the noodles.
- ✓If you don't have Queso Paraguay, a mild, crumbly white cheese like feta or queso fresco can be used as a substitute.
- ✓This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated; the flavors often meld and improve overnight.
