What do you add to your bean soups?

My current working strategy is a ham hock and chicken stock. I would like to switch to something that doesn’t involve dead animals.

(As a side note - I’ve noticed that if I leave my beans soaking for a little longer, they seem to bubble and ferment. Could I possibly make alcohol this way?)

I have never liked pork… I would not even know what might satisfy the tastes of someone who does. But there are always spices and herbs and flavors to experiment with. Recently I have used nutritional yeast as a flavor booster for soups and sauces. Miso is also an option. I am told it was traditional in Japan to toss in some kombu seaweed during soaking, though I would not expect much more than a mineral salt taste from that.

Soy sauce broth is nice and savory, and you can’t go wrong with good ol’ vegetable stock - and don’t forget the MSG!

potatoes, mushrooms, celery, carrots…

here’s some soup recipes I’ve made and absolutely loved:

Braised onions, mushroom stock, liquid smoke for that smoky flavour if you miss it.

Don’t forget to finish the dish with a drizzle of nice vinegar to brighten it up, too much of just savoury ingredients in any dish will make it taste flat.
