Just about anything really!
Make sure you soak them according to instructions then add them to carrots, potatoes & chicken in chicken stock and simmer it all slowly over a low heat!.
Or for a pure veggie soup try adding turnips & leeks instead of chicken!.
Adding herbs of your choice will add more interest!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
