EMILY'S BEAN SOUP

Emily's Bean Soup image

This is a wonderful fall or winter meal, served with thick slices of warm homemade bread. The recipe evolved over the years as I added to it. I often double it and freeze what we don't eat. That way, I can throw some in a pot for a quick meal or if unexpected guests drop by. -Emily Chaney, Penobscot, Maine
