Bill's Super Bowl Navy Bean Soup
"I love navy bean soup. Heck I more than love it. Thats why I made 10 or 12 batches to come up with this recipe. On a cold day or night this will warm your heart body and mind. It may also cure the flu. Maybe."

Bean soup is one of my favorites and this one was added to that. For us I did cut down on the salt, did not add the cayenne pepper, and added one more potato since I had smaller yukon golds. Will try this in the slow cooker next time. Made and reviewed for Pick A Chef - Fall 2012. -
Red and black pepper give this a kick -- too hot for one of us, perfect for another, so adjust to your tastes when you make it. Came out perfect and delicious. Made for Pick A Chef April 09.

I am especially interested in baking and coming up with new recipes. I still like learning from others. I like to find a way to to cut calories , carbs and sugar. Being diabetic and liking sweet things presents me with quite a challenge .
