Hearty Pulse Soup - Salads, Soups & Stews Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• olive oil for sautéing
• 1 head of garlic cloves, separated and chopped fine
• 4 small hot chili peppers, chopped (fresh are best, but dried ones like chipotles and chiles de arbol work great too. Just rehydrate them in hot water for a few minutes before chopping.)

• 1 pinch turmeric powder
• 6 oz soaked pulses of any kind or a mixture of many kinds
• sea salt
• limes - enough for half a lime for each serving
• some good, but not fancy, melting cheese
• 1 bunch of something green - preferably cilantro
• 1 cup chopped red cabbage
• avocado slices
