For this event, I’m sharing my bean soup. This is comfort food at its best, simply perfect for this time of year, and it’s extremely easy to make with only few ingredients.
Tips/Suggestions:
To spice this recipe up, the Hurst’s package recommends you add 1 cup of chopped onion, one 15 oz. can of diced or stewed tomatoes, 1 tsp chili powder, juice of one lemon, and a clove of minced garlic about 30 minutes before cooking is complete. Growing up, we never had all that stuff in our bean soup, but I’m sure it’s quite tasty and flavorful.
And if you don’t have time to stand over the stove stirring and watching the soup cook, try making this in the crock pot. Just cook for the same length of time as it takes for other beans.
OMGoodness! I love bean soup and this looks amazing! Alas, I'm on a diet right now and can't have beans…Aaaarrgghh! Thanks for sharing this and in about 10 more days…I'm gonna try it!! LOL!
Happy Met Monday!

I love bean soup too! I always use ham because that's how I was taught to make it. Someday I should try it with sausage. Thanks for the idea.
This looks amazing and it is almost lunch time where I am at. Hum… have to go see if I have everything. Thanks! 🙂

Delish! Looks easy, too. Good for a snow day with cornbread.
I do love the smell of beans cooking in my home — I think they are an amazing source of protein too. Joni
