so good heart healthy bean soup (slow cooker)
(1 rating)
This is a basic bean soup recipe adapted to make it low on fat and sodium and therefore more healthy. My friends like it very much and I hope you will, too. I like to use the packaged 15 mixed dry beans but you can use any dry beans or mixed dry beans you prefer.
