This is my mom‘s recipe. She added quite a bit of recipes over the years into my recipe box that she made for me for my graduation. I have a twin sister, so can you imagine the amount of time typing on an old typewriter all these recipes twice? That’s what kind of mom she is, even though she isn’t with us, I will still cherish these recipes, especially this one, it was always a favorite of mine. You may add in cannellini beans for any other bean if you wish.
