Bean Soup

Rain came yesterday and through the night.  Today was a soup day for sure.  Susan Branch is one of my favorite artists and has a great blog with lots of fun things to see and read.  Read about her bean soup recently and it sounded good and today was the day to try it.  Oh my, it is a keeper for sure.  I was concerned it might be a little bland but the flavor was wonderful.  This recipe will go in my family cookbook file for sure.  Give it a try and tempt your tummy with a hot flavorful yummy bean soup.
