I lived in Richmond Va. for 16 years, and on the weekends, would go into D.C. I loved to go through the U.S. Capital. The U.S. Senate has came to stand for many things in the Republic. One is its bean soup. Cookes ladle out gallons of 8-oz servings each day in the 11 dining rooms on the Hill.Senate bean soup can be served on any occasion that warrants a hot, steamy, filling and thick soup such as this. I love bean soup and this is a tasty recipe that I enjoy very much.
