On The Side Or In A BowlBeanBeanBeanBeanBean

I have made this soup many many times....I find i can split up the remaing portions and freeze them and they keep great for a long time. Just pull out heat and EAT!!! This soup is amazing it is a great base for creating something new or old. AND it is great feel good food for those times when you want a simple comforting meal that leaves you full and content. There is no way you can beat this soup for the taste and for the cost it honestly has to be one of the best products on the market!!!

Awesome!!!BeanBeanBeanBeanBean

AWESOME! I followed the recipe exactly as written. Added a large ham bone with ham as the beans cooked. Removed bone after 2 1/2 hours and cut up the ham. Returned to the soup with the rest of the ingredients. I WILL make this often!!
