October Bean Recipes

Posted on October 10, 2011 by

As the temps continue to drop in the evenings, it is a perfect time to look back at some of our favorite Fall recipes from the last few years. This Pumpkin Lentil Soup is one of our most popular posts ever on the bean blog. Serving out of a small pumpkin makes it a perfect dish for any Halloween party. Don’t forget to try the Pumpkin White Bean Stew recipe posted last Fall. The earthy flavor of the Great Northern beans are balanced well with some tangy apple cider and sweetness from the puréed pumpkin. The 15 Bean Tailgate Chili has been a hit at all of our Hurst Bean Field tailgate parties. It’s ideal for a huge crowd and has just enough spice to keep everyone warm on a cold day. Enjoy!
