INGREDIENTS
•
bag of 15-bean soup mix (discard the seasoning pack); you can substitute any dry beans or bean mix--it doesn't have to have 15 kinds.
•
fresh veggies: onion, garlic, celery, carrots, Swiss chard (or kale)
•
canned no salt diced tomatoes (I prefer the fire roasted ones)
•
low sodium soy sauce (provides a salty flavor boost--you can vary the amount depending on how salty you want it)
•
herbs/spices: bay leaves, thyme, black pepper, crushed red pepper (optional--omit if you don't like the heat)
•
low sodium chicken broth; substitute vegetable broth for vegetarian/vegan option
•
lean ham steak; omit for vegetarian/vegan option
