Summary

Name: Crock-Pot Fifteen-Bean Soup

Category: Beans And Grains

Ingredients and Directions

20 oz 15-bean soup mix, package, discard the flavor packet

1 each onion, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon celery salt

2 each celery, stalks, chopped

1 each bay leaf

1 cayenne pepper, dash

1 pepper, ground, to taste

1 each kielbasa, sliced into coins

Soak beans overnight, changing water frequently. Drain. In crockpot, cover beans with 1 inch water. Add all other ingredients except kielbasa. Cover and cook on high for one hour; turn to low and cook overnight. Stir once or twice during cooking. One hour before serving, check the texture of the soup. If it's too thin, mash some of the beans with a potato masher. Add sliced kielbasa. Cook for one hour. Serve with tabasco sauce and bread or rice. Serves 4 generously. NOTE: This soup freezes well. Leftovers are excellent (usually thicker from reheating), and are delicious served over rice.
