Kidney Bean Soup Mix Pouch – 1.10 lb (500 g)

Bring a comforting pot of soup to your table with Michigan-grown kidney beans and a separate herbs-and-spices packet, conveniently packed together in a pouch. Enjoy it on its own or make it your own with vegetables or cooked meat.

Photo serving suggestion (beef and vegetables not included).

Cooking directions

1. Remove the seasoning packet and set it aside. Soak the beans in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours. Drain and rinse.
2. Cover with fresh water and boil for at least 30 minutes.
3. Then simmer until fully tender, adding water as needed.
4. Add the seasoning and simmer another 10–15 minutes.
5. For the whole pouch, adjust with water to approximately 12 cups of soup.

Do not cook raw kidney beans directly in a slow cooker. Add the seasoning only after the beans are fully cooked.

Cook a little or the whole pouch

Prepare the whole pouch or cook a smaller batch. Measure out the beans and use the same proportion of seasoning from the separate packet. Follow the soaking and boiling directions above for every batch; do not shorten those steps for a smaller portion. Keep the remaining dry beans and seasoning sealed in a cool, dry place.

Make it your own

Add your favorite cooked meat and vegetables for a heartier meal that stretches further. Try cooked chicken, beef, or sausage during the final 10–15 minutes of cooking, or add sautéed peppers, carrots, or corn.

Makes approximately 12 cups when the whole pouch is prepared as directed. Adding meat or vegetables will increase the yield.
