"This recipe is used in Branson, MO at the Christmas on the Trail show at Shepherd of the Hills. To me it's kind of a cross between chili and stew. And, although I'm not usually a big fan of chili I love this! (I've guessed on servings.) I'll admit... I don't always wait 4 hours. It's good right away, too!"

I haven't made it yet, I was just wondering about the large white beans they also use in their soup, do you know what they are? Butter beans? And thanks so much for the recipe!!! We loved their soup and hoped we could find a way to make it back home. Now to figure out how to make those potatoes...
