This will make a fine addition to the soup file - tell me, do you use the water

from the beans in the soup? That's the way I am reading it anyway ;=) Rather

than draining them, I mean?

No, I always drain them

Okay ;=) Me too. Soooo, just in case there's any confusion (for people who

might not have made this kinda thing before in this way), I'll have another look

at the recipe file and add 'drained' if it isn't there ;=)

 

Absolutely adore bean soup of any kind. Love beans, in fact - dunno why the

whole world doesn't live on em (OK - don't tell me the obvious answer to that

one *lol*)
