15 bean crockpot soup
Posted onThis quickly became a family fave, even our picky eaters like it! Sort of reminds me of a vegetable soup, but full of protein.
-15 Bean Crockpot Soup-
Bag of 15 bean mix (discard seasoning packet)
6 cups organic chicken broth
Large can organic petite diced tomatoes
8 oz cubed ham
Large diced onion
Small bag organic baby carrots
4 or 5 stalks of organic celery (sliced thin)
Season to taste with:
Onion powder
Cajun seasoning
Salt
Low sodium soy sauce (optional)
Rinse beans (can soak over night if you’d like, but I don’t). Add all above ingredients in crock pot and stir well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Can serve with rice if you’d like.
