My Canadian Friends Bean Soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beans and vegetables, and it is also a very affordable meal. It can be served with a side of bread or crackers, and it is also a great soup to freeze for later.

Even though I'm single, I make multiple servings of everything. Actually, this tendency has helped me to get to know my neighbors. A few of them always volunteer to be my guinea pigs whenever I try out a new recipe or two. -Cheryl Trowbridge, Windsor, Ontario

MY FAVORITE NAVY BEAN SOUP...SO EASY TO PREPARE!



My Favorite Navy Bean Soup...so Easy to Prepare! image

This is a wonderful hearty soup, great for using leftover ham from the holidays. Note 1: For a richer-tasting stock, take half of the cooked beans and puree them with the metal blade of your food processor and then add them back to the soup. Note 2: You can soak the beans overnight to speed up the preparation process and omit cooking in the first step of the directions. This soup is comfort food at its best. You will love it. Don't let the number of Steps in the Directions divert you: I always try to make my preparation directions explicit and detailed...to make preparation easier, not more difficult!
