Photo Serving suggestion (sausage and vegetables not included).

Cooking directions

1. Remove the seasoning packet and set it aside. Sort and rinse the beans.
2. Soak the beans overnight in the refrigerator in plenty of water. Drain and rinse.
3. Place the beans in a pot and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender, adding water as needed.
4. Open the seasoning packet and stir its contents into the soup. Simmer for another 10–15 minutes.
5. For the whole pouch, add water as needed to make approximately 12 cups of finished soup. Season to taste.

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 cooking directions above for every batch. 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. Meat and vegetables are not included in the pouch.

Storage

Store the unopened pouch in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate leftover prepared soup promptly.
