Tips

15 BEAN SOUP can be found in the "DRY BEAN" section of most grocery stores

Be sure to wait until beans are fully cooked and tender before adding tomatoes or lemon juice

Can substitute water or other broths instead of chicken

Any kind of sausage, beef, or chicken works great as well

Lifting the slow cooker lid can add significant time to cooking
