15 Bean Soup

Written by on in Dinner, Soups

There’s nothing better than a big bowl of hot soup on a cold winters’ night to warm you up and fill your tummy. A special thanks to a dear old friend, Amelia, for sharing this recipe. She won a senior citizen cook off contest with this scrumptious recipe way back in the 1970’s, and once you try it, you’ll know why. I substitute fire roasted tomatoes in place of the diced tomatoes and add a dash or two of Tabasco sauce, as we prefer a little “heat” to our soup.
