Cheater Soup #2

You knew if there was a #1, there was bound to follow a #2.  This one is also in heavy rotation in our household and tastes perfect over brown rice (or choose another one of your favorite hardy grains).

Ingredients:
– A bag of Trader Joe’s shredded cruciferous mix (broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale, cabbage, etc.).  You could also substitute/add any shredded greens – cruciferous or otherwise, I basically throw in whatever is about to conk out in my fridge.
– Trader Joe’s Mirapoux (chopped carrots, onion, and celery)
– 1 cup of white wine
– Two cans of beans (white or pinto taste good)
– Two tablespoons of miso paste
– A teaspoon or two of dried thyme

Steps:
1.  Saute the onion in a little oil until translucent
2. Add the veggies and thyme, stir, saute until wilting
3. Cover with water
4. Add the wine and the miso paste (if using the Instant Pot, you can add the miso paste after the soup is cooked to preserve the fermented benefits of miso)
5. Drain, rinse, and add the beans
6. Add salt and pepper to taste
7.  Cook until the carrots are soft and its… soup! (Set the Instant Pot to high pressure and cook for 15 minutes. Release steam.)

Happy Autumn!
