13-Bean Good Luck Soup
This recipe was in the ThriftyFun newsletter but this is exactly how I make my bean soup. I also add whatever else I have on hand such as leftover gravy, leftover sausage or beef, etc. it is always good, hearty, and thrifty. I make a huge pot full and freeze some. BTW, I do mine in the crock pot and skip the soaking overnight step. --Ginny Tastes good and I always think of good luck when I make it!
