Dear Sue and list,

 

Sounds good. Personally though, I like to add the dry (soaked or

unsoaked) beans to the crockpot, and then cook on low for 10-12 hrs. The

beans come out so fresh and good.

 

I just made a soup by throwing in what I had on hand -- some big white

beans, a large sweet potato, an onion, some dulse, and some kombu

(kelp). It cooked for about 11 or 12 hrs. The beans become all broken

down, and part of the broth, and the seaweed (dulse and kombu) added a

very nice, tangy taste. Overall, it was better than I expected. But I

forgot to add the leek.
