best bean soup
My husband replied with "Comfort Food" when I asked him what he wanted for supper. Great idea on a cold, rainy and chilly night! I looked at a bunch of recipes and remembered what i had in the refrigerator. I had a taste for bean soup so I looked up Senate Bean Soup. Since the Hubs is into history, I figured he would enjoy hearing about it's history. All the recipes sounded so boring! Of course I made up my own and it was SO delicious I had to write it up! For all of you, and so I could make it the same way again--maybe. Please try this soup when you need a comforting meal.

How To Make best bean soup
-
1Saute veggies and garlic in a soup pot or if you have a multi pot go for it! I used bacon flavored olive oil for this step. Saute about 10 minutes until veggies are starting to soften. -
2Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on high in your slow cooker for 2 hours.
-
3After an hour I added the mashed potatoes. This is the "secret" ingredient in the Senate soup...but not in the House of Representatives' version.
-
4We garnished with Cilantro, Tomato, Green onion and a drizzle of olive oil.
