| Bean soups are filling nutritious and low in fat. The colorful varieties of beans in this soup create an especially beautiful presentation. Preparing this soup mix is not difficult and the flavor is well worth the effort. Simply wash the soup mix and place in a Dutch oven or similar pot. Cover with water and soak overnight. Drain the beans and add water to cover add the spice packet (toss in a ham hock if you like). Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer one and a half to two hours or until beans are tender stirring occasionally. If you used a ham hock remove and take the meat from the bone chop the meat and return to the soup.22 Oz.
