15 Bean Soup

Last week, we made 15 bean soup. It was fantastic food fare.
The best part -the package was less than a $1 at Kroger.

I tossed the ham flavoring packet that came with it & threw away the directions that said to cook with a hambone.

Instead, I took this collection of dried beans & started by soaking them for about 12 hours. I then drained all but about 2 cups of the water off the beans. I added 2 cups of vegetable broth, 1 chopped onion, 1 can of sliced stewed tomatoes, 1 tsp of Tonys & cooked them in the pressure cooker for about 25-30 minutes.

We ate 2 full meals off of it & I had leftovers for myself another time after that.

It was just about the best bean soup I've every had & with very minimum effort....However, you do have to plan ahead to soak the beans.
