16 Bean Soup/Stew

[Guest guest]

I made this up and very open to adaptation.

 

In the supermarkets here they sell a bag of 16 bean soup. the beans

are dried and there is no seasoning with it, basically it's a bag of

mixed beans.

 

I soaked the beans overnight and I used the whole one pound bag.

 

Put everything in to a crockpot:

 

Entire amount of soaked beans

32oz box of vegetable stock (i used pacific brand)

A couple handfuls of chopped onions

1 pint jar of tomatoes I had frozen - you can use a can diced

tomotatoes or leave them out.

Salt and pepper to taste

I added a couple dashes of herbs de provance (This is generally a

blend of dried marjoram, thyme, summer savory, basil, rosemary, fennel

seeds and lavender)

 

I used a 6qt crockpot but this should fit in a 4qt too.

I cooked it on low for 10 hours. It turned out more like stew than

soup so I had it over rice.

 

I cooked my rice seperately and didn't add it to the cooker.

 

This came together since this what I had in the house last night.
