My husband and I were given two bags of bean soup mix as a wedding gift. It sat in the pantry for awhile since neither one of us had ever made bean soup. One day, shortly after Thanksgiving, I pulled it out and looked at the recipe. Then I researched other bean soup recipes. I decided to combine three recipes together to make this soup. It's great way to use leftover turkey.
I've even mixed up the beans and given this recipe/bean mix as a gift.

How to Make Country Market Bean Soup

Step-by-Step

Wash beans. Soak beans overnight in enough water to cover.
Drain beans and place in 4 qt. dutch oven/stockpot. Add water, chicken broth, tomatoes, garlic, onion. Cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Remove lid. Add remaining seasonings and meats. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve hot with biscuits or cornbread. Yields 2 1/2 qts.
Notes: You can use any combination of cooked meats. Smoked turkey works great in this recipe.
You can substitute 1-2 stalks of chopped celery for the celery seed. Enjoy!
