Workday Bean Soup Recipe


Workday Bean Soup Recipe
It snowed today and school was cancelled. Good for teachers like Pam and me. It was a comfort food day and this is one of the best. My favorite bean soup. Lots of time to make this but it is walk away time and the soup is worth it.

  5. Simmer on low until the beans are tender (1-2 hours)
  6. Drain, discard water, and return beans to pot
  7. All add the remaining ingredients except the tomato sauce.
  8. Simmer on very low for several hours, adding water or stock to keep the liquid at the starting level

  10. Stir in the tomato sauce.
  11. Simmer 15 more minutes and then serve.

This sounds really good, thanks for sharing it! Has my two favorite beans, plus so many other wonderful flavors. And I agree with with Mrs. Bojangles- I like my beans and soup thick too!
