Guess What I've "Bean" Doing

I was making bean soup this afternoon and was struck by the gorgeous colors and shapes of the lowly (organic) bean.

Starting from the top and going clock-wise: Kidney Beans, Garbanzo Beans, Great Northern Beans, Black Turtle Beans, Pinto Beans, French Lentils, and Green Split Peas.

The French Lentils look very interesting and are all sorts of lovely colors.

A delicious soup for a cold day!
