Best Bean Soup Ever!!


This is my bean soup recipe for canning.  It is amazing.  If you don't want to can it, you will have to change the cooking time.  Simmer it until the beans are tender.  Adding in the carrots and celery about ten minutes before they are done.
 
Ingredients:
1 pound bag of 16 bean soup bean mixture
3 cloves garlic
3 small onions
6 carrots
3 stalks celery
Apx 2 cups raw bacon pieces cut into bites
1 box (32 oz) chicken stock

Instructions:
Soak the bean mixture in the refrigerator over night.
Mince garlic, chop onions.  Chop carrots and celery into chunks.  Set aside for later.  Fry garlic and onions in pan with bacon pieces.  Cook until bacon is done and onions are translucent.  Drain fat.
 
Drain and rinse the beans.
 
Put the chicken stock in the pot.  Add in the beans.  You should have enough liquid to cover the beans.  Stir and bring to a boil.
Turn down and simmer for 30 minutes.
Stir in celery and carrots.
 
Scoop into pint size jars leaving 1 inch head space.  Should make 6 jars of soup.
Process according to your pressure canner instructions at 10 pounds pressure for 75 minutes.
