Ingredients:
1 lb black beans (or any other kind)
1 eggplant
1-2 bunches collards or kale
2 onions
1/2-1 lb mushrooms, any kind, I did a variety
2 16-oz cans tomatoes
1 Tbsp oregano
2-3 tsp cumin
lots of garlic (I got rid of a bunch, must have been about 6 cloves)
2 Tbsp date syrup
I cooked the beans for 2 hours; chopped the collards, eggplant, onions and garlic in the food processor, added to the beans and cooked for another 1-2 hours. I added the mushrooms too after chopping the other foods, added the tomatoes in the last half hour; added the date syrup at the end.

sounds good, but why the date syrup in a savory dish
I know, it sounds odd, but without the salt, the tomatoes taste kind of metallic to me. The pot of soup is very large and the date syrup doesn't make it taste noticeably sweet, but it seems to take the edge off that metallic taste for me. It could just be my taste buds.

Hi -
I'm just getting started on my nutritarian life style change. This looks like a soup that even my husband (who thinks I'm nuts) might enjoy with me. Thanks for posting it. I find your blog to be very informative and user-friendly.
Congrats Linda on your journey to health. I really like this soup. I seem to like garlic more than I used to. Thanks for your comment!
Hey Barb,
Do you peel the eggplant?
Sounds so yummy!
I don't peel the eggplant. it's easier and maybe it's got a bunch of nutrients. I don't notice that it changes the taste.
