It’s game time, football fans, and we have a whole field of Super Bowl Recipes for you time as we highlight this month’s Pinterest Challenge! Hosted by our fellow commentator Cindy of County Road 407, whose recipe I can’t wait to make, I am kicking off my post with a touch-down-winning recipe for a Heart Wintertime 7 Bean Soup…
If you are coming over to French Ethereal for the first time from Wendy’s blog at WM Design, welcome! Don’t Wendy’s tips for Super Bowl Nachos look and sound absolutely scrumptious?!! Bring on the guac!!! (I love these Pinterest Challenges for so many great ideas!)
It is a highlight here each month on my blog to gather with so many friends participating in each challenge. Cindy gives us a photograph or an idea as inspiration and we then run with that idea. Truly, this month’s idea of sharing favorite Super Bowl recipes is just another winner in a long line of goal-setting standards!

Play by play
To begin this soup, soak about 1 1/2 cups of a 7-bean soup mix overnight, covering the beans with water, plus an inch or so.
Drain in the morning, rinse, and check for any stones.*
***If this is your first time making a bean soup, beans have rounded edges so it is fairly easy to see the irregular shapes of little stones. 🙂
Dice some fresh onion and add this to the hamburger mixture to cook and soften the onions.

Make a winning Warm & Hearty 7-Bean Super Bowl Soup
For this recipe, brown about 1/2 lb. ground beef on high in a crockpot. Next, add in the garlic and onion then begin adding some spices and herbs:
- add 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped or crushed through a nutmeg press
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- ground pepper and salt to taste
- Shake Mrs. Dash and Nature’s Seasoning into the pot
- Add a pinch or two of garlic salt for added flavor
After a couple of hours, add a small can of crushed tomatoes or tomato soup, if desired. Let cook until the beans are soft, checking flavors and add more herbs as needed.
Bake some French bread or corn bread to go with your soup. It’s a winning combination!
For our Super Bowl party, I’ve brought out a football party tray we’ve had for twenty years or more. Here I’ve used it as a t.v. tray.
Often for Super Bowl, Mr. Ethereal and I will use this tray as our “charcuterie board” filled with crackers, cheese slices and various slices meats, fruit and veggies. It was perfect when our kids were growing up! 🙂
It’s fun to use it here highlighting our 7-bean Super Bowl soup! I hope you try this soup recipe soon…
