Bableves (Hungarian Beans and Wieners Soup)

Happy Sunday, Beautiful People!

Too much snow here. Been watching my husband cleaning snow not just on our driveway but also pedestrian path in front of our neighbors, via the security cam. He could do it almost 3 times daily whenever he could, because the amount of snow falling has been insane. It's like within half H, everything is covered again, as if he never cleared them 😅 it's been a week long or so of snow falling. I read the local news, yesterday alone, it was close to 70 cm of snow 😅

I loveeeeeee Winter!! Yep!!! It's because I am still at home 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Once I am mobile and back to normal activities, I will be back HATING it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I do miss going outside, tho. Almost a month of recovery, it sucks big time, as I am still very much snail. I miss cleaning my house, I miss rearranging furniture, I miss driving my boys to and from school, I miss many things. But seriously, once I get those back, I definitely WILL say, Fudge, I miss sleep days and being lazy 🤣

Anyhoo! Recipe!

1 c red kidney beans
1/2 c great northern white beans
1/2 red chili beans
1 med onion, slice or cuve
6 garlic, thinly slice
3 bay leaves
1 tsp black peppercorns
Carrots, I love using rainbow colors carrots - you can use as many carrots as you like, slice no need too thinly. Mine is about 1 small bowl.
1 tsp crushed parsley
3 beef cubes
1 bag of beef hot dogs, slice

Thickener:

1/2 tbsp sweet paprika powder
2 tbsp strong baker's flour
Enough water

Soak beans 30 mins, rinse and place into Instant Pot

Pour enough water
Drop in everything, like onion, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns

Put on the pot lid
Click Soup option, and set timer on the IP for 1 h 30 mins
Turn off IP, release steam, take off lid

Add in carrots, parsley and beef bouillon cubes, continue cooking soup 15 mins (put on lid, choose soup)

Turn off IP. Release steam, take off lid, stir in sliced beef hotdogs and pour in paprika solution, stir, turn on soup option again, but no need to put on the lid. Continue cooking for 5 mins.
Adjust flavor, bring back to boil and soup is ready.

Enjoy!
