    Sherry

    Recipe Introduction

    This is my special recipe.. It is our families favorite soup to make during the fall & winter.. Not too bad year around. Great when you have planned guest or drop in guest. I always have these things on hand.. Sometimes will use 2 different beans at one time. Looks very pretty. And tastes Yummy! Enjoy!! Sherry This soup is very hearty & thick, almost stew like. You can add more liquid(tomato juice or water) if needed. Super Easy 10 minutes 20 to 30 min total time 6 to 8 servings
