This is beyond simple to make, and wonderfully nutritious to boot. I added a couple of stalks of chopped celery with the onion, and a cup or so of leftover mashed potato just because soup is the natural repository for leftovers. We did find it lacking in seasoning, but that was easily fixed - I added savory, pepper, paprika and basil. -
Wonderful recipe. So simple. I used regular kidney beans (couldn't find white), some unknown<br/>beans from the garden I will call lima beans and a can of black beans. Delicious. Thanks.
