Bean mix soup

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup White beans
¼ cup Kidney beans
¼ cup Split peas
¼ cup Pinto beans
2 tablespoons Pot barley
2 tablespoons Parsley
2 tablespoons Dried onions
1 Bay leaf
2 tablespoons Powdered beef broth
1 can Tomato soup
1 pounds Hamburg, fried & drained

Directions

Sort and wash beans. Cover generously with water and soak overnight OR bring to a boil and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Then remove from heat and let stand for one hour. Drain.

Top with 6 cups water, add bay leaf and onions, and simmer until done (1½-2 hours). Add tomato soup, hamburg, powdered beef broth, and parsley. Simmer a few more minutes.

Do not add salt of any kind until the last 5 minutes. It toughens the beans and the cooking time will be twice as long.
