10 Bean Soup

---

Yes, another soup recipe! we really love a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter day for lunch. the challenge is keeping it low fat and healthy. this bean soup is fantastic! it makes alot and it freezes well. you can really use any favorite bean mixture (dry) or use your own! i buy the 10 bean mix in bulk at a local grocery store. it also has some pearl barley thrown in there too!!
