Re: (...)
We're trying to eat a little healthier and I was telling Maryann about two books by Joseph Piscatella and the recipe for French Market soup -
Here are two threads from a while back talking about the books, maybe they'll help all of us, they sure have helped me.

It's funny you bring up the French Market Soup. In the vegetarian thread that Vicci started, I almost posted this, but when I looked it up on MC, I realized it had meat in it. I still haven't made this but will try to get the ingredients for the next cold snap.

Keep your mind wide open.
This soup does sound good - it is similar to the 15 bean soup that I make - except for the mung beans. I will have to look for those. Thanks, Jean.

It's a keeper whether you're trying for healthy or not.

I was thinking the same thing, Sonja. I purchased mung beans 30some years ago for sprouting, but I never contemplated adding them to my bean soup.

Thanks again, Jean. I got those books from the library but should probably buy them.
ETA: Ordered from Amazon so should have it in a few days.
In the meantime, I'm going to make the French Market Soup and a loaf of sprouted wheat bread to go with it. I'm thinking that after a week of hospital food, our friend will enjoy something homemade and healthy.
