Margaret is the mother-in-law of one of our Garden Dish team members, and she’s a wonderful cook. She makes this bean soup, and other vegan goodies, when her vegan son and daughter-in-law visit. Isn’t that nice of her? So in honor of mom’s everywhere like Margaret, we’re sharing this recipe. This dish has almost 20 g of fiber in each serving, yet is low in calories.
