If you love red bean vegetable soup, then you might want to try out this low-carb version made with soybeans. Unlike most beans, soybeans are low in carbs (2.8 g net carbs/4 oz). But be warned: this sacred crop has a strikingly different taste from other beans and more bite than other cooked beans.
Ingredients

- ½ red bell pepper, seeded, sliced

- 1 tbsp hot sauce
Instructions

- Add veggies and cook until tender, for 10 minutes.

Tips & Tricks
Not a fan of yellow soybeans? Go for black ones instead. These have a taste that’s closer to red and pinto beans.
You can use one medium onion instead of onion powder. This will make the soup subtly sweeter, but it will also boost its carb count by around 2 g carbs per serving.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
