NAVY BEAN SOUP WITH CHICKEN



Navy Bean Soup With Chicken image

Beans are really healthy, so when I cook them I try not to add anything to them that will make them unhealthy. This bean soup relies on some pepper and the green onions for seasoning. If you want salt, add some. Cooking time includes soaking time for the dried beans.
