GREASY SAE’S GOURD AND BEAN SOUP

SERVES 4

Just before leaving for her tour of the Districts, Katniss ordered a bowl of this soup from Greasy Sae’s busy stall. It was one of the few dishes of Greasy Sae’s that didn’t have game in it. Perhaps it was a slow day for area trappers and hunters.

If you’d like, you can substitute Great Northern beans or even black beans into this recipe. You might also enjoy using a combination of beans to change up the appearance and texture.

1 TABLESPOON OLIVE OIL

1 LARGE WHITE ONION, DICED

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil on medium-high heat and sauté the onions until soft and translucent.

Add the chili powder and cinnamon and continue to sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Mix in the garlic and cumin and sauté for 2 minutes more before adding the tomatoes.

Stir until the tomatoes have broken down and have a smooth texture.
