Combine all beans in a large jar with screw top lid. Place onions and remaining ingredients in a small plastic bag and place on top of beans in jar. Seal jar and store in cool dry place. Makes enough for 6 batches of soup.
To use mix:
8 cups water
1/6 Hearty Bean Soup Mix
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery

I think this is so thoughtful!!! My mom lives across from me, and she loves soup, and I am no Betty Crocker, when it comes to cooking! Lol!But, this way the ingredients are already pre-measured and everything, for her, so, this will save time, if she is under the weather, or just not up to making soup from scratch, so thank you sooo much!!! And it makes a great holiday gift as well!!! :)
