Bean Soup
From the Kitchen of: Sue H
SORT through, WASH, then SOAK beans 10-12 hrs (not more cuz beans will loose shape, get too mushy) in 9x13 pan full of water.
Drain, then to a large stock pot, add beans, 3 quarts water, and sprinkle GENEROUSLY w/ Mrs. Dash SW Chipotle. Bring to a boil.
Uncovered, Simmer slowly 2 1/2 hours,* or when liquid boils down (set burner dial midway between Med & High, slightly lower after the 1st hour). Stir occasionally.
*cook slow and long for best results!
Add above ingredients, simmer slow, about 30 more min, stir regularly.
