Adzuki Apple-Bacon Soup

1 lb. (450 g) of dry adzuki beans, rinsed and picked over
1 3-inch (7.5 cm) piece kombu (dried seaweed)
5 slices fake bacon
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 cups (480 ml) veggie broth (or more)
1 14.5 ounce (410 g) can diced tomatoes
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/3 cup (80 ml) diced dried apple
1/2 cup (120 ml) red wine (optional)
2 sticks cinnamon, broken into large pieces
salt and pepper to taste

  1. Soak beans overnight in fresh water with kombu.
  2. In the morning, drain and place in crockpot (include kombu). Add broth, onion, celery, and garlic; cook on high through half the day.
  3. Cut fake bacon into 1/2-inch (1 cm) pieces, and add with chopped dried apple to crockpot. Stir in wine (if used) and broken cinnamon sticks. Taste beans.
  4. If almost completely cooked, dump can of diced tomatoes with juice into crockpot. If beans are still crunchy, continue to cook on high until they are almost done, then add tomatoes.
  5. Turn crockpot down to low and simmer until dinnertime. Remove broken cinnamon sticks. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serves 8

Note: the Kombu adds little to no flavor to the recipe and should completely disintegrate into the soup through cooking. If pieces are still visible and not aesthetically pleasing to you, the Kombu can be removed before serving. Kombu cooked with beans renders them more digestible, and reduces the "fragrant side effects" from eating beans.
