Uh-oh! Soup

Forgot that I had Soup Collective today until... about half an hour ago. Thankfully, a quick search of the fridge revealed there was plenty to work with. So, Uh-Oh! Soup:

Ingredients:

• Lamb stock
• Onion (small)
• Spring onions (a few)
• Mild red peppers (many)
• Pinto beans (soaked)
• Rice (cooked)
• White wine
• Italian spices
• Garlic powder
• Bay leaves (if you're into that sort of thing)
• Olive oil
• Water
• Salt to taste
• UPDATE: Large number of pre-cooked greens - collards, mustard greens, kale. Could be engineered to cook these simultaneously but that's not how this went
  

Procedure:

• Chop onions finely, peppers coarsely
• Heat oil on medium-low in a large pot
• Add onions (both) and sauteé for a minute or so
• Add bay leaves, garlic powder, Italian spices and continue to sauteé, adding more oil as necessary
• Add pinto beans and sauteé
• Add peppers and cook until they begin to soften
• Add wine and cook until it begins to reduce
• Add stock and as much water as is necessary
• Cover, and cook for... as long as necessary
• When soup is basically ready, add rice and cook for another couple of minutes - should soak it up fast
• Add pre-cooked greens and cook for a while longer. Make sure greens are cut into smaller pieces or, as I did, retrieve from pot with slotted spoon and cut with scissors. Also - make sure you made the greens spicy (helpful when mustard greens are part of the equation)
  

Result:

• Not sure yet! Will update later
• Okay - delicious.
  

UPDATE: Okay, bit the bullet and added leftover greens and broth. We shall see!

UPDATE 2: Despite idiotically burning my tongue, greens definitely add a kick and heartiness. Good call, JKD.

UPDATE 3: Still needs a little more time for beans to properly soften but, adding a little more water, it proceeds apace. Also, no need for rice with greens now providing plenty of body.

UPDATE 4: Okay. Success - this is a damn fine soup, somehow. smalljones advises that this verges on Caldo Verde - and me with leftover mashed potatoes sitting unused in the fridge! Oh well - next time, and this functions well as is.
