Fast & Easy Bean Soup

Posted in Kitchen

Ever had a cold, damp evening where the only thing that sounds good is a good hearty bean soup??  I like bean soup made from dry beans, but that isn't so easy to whip up when it's 6:00 PM and you're just coming in from work.

 

My family loves this recipe.  I call it my 'Cheater Bean Soup'.

 

  • 1/4 - 1/2 lb bacon, cut into bite sized pieces
  • chopped onion (or two)
  • chopped green pepper (optional)
  • chopped garlic (optional)

Get these ingredients frying in bottom of pot.  When bacon is cooked & vegetables are tender, add:

  • 4 cans of beans - I like navy, black bean, black-eyed peas, red beans
  • 1 can sliced carrots, drained
  • 1 can sliced potatoes, drained
  • 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained

Add to taste:  salt, pepper, lemon pepper

 

Serve with corn bread.

 

YUM!
