This recipe is from a bean soup gift pack I developed as a fund-raiser for our church. We provide it along with the beans and a packet containing all the spices. The recipient just adds water and a can of tomatoes for a delicious pot of savory soup. -Doris Cox, South Orange, New Jersey

I'm not sure what others see in this soup. It's bland and uninteresting in flavor. There is nothing "lucky" about it.

I have been making this soup for several years and LOVE it! I have given it away as a hostess gift in a jar and shared it with nearly 50 moms at a mothers group. The most important part is to NOT add the tomatoes until the beans are completely cooked. If you add them early the beans will not cook fully. Something about the acid in the tomatoes stops the beans from cooking even if you simmer for hours. So, just follow the directions and you should be fine :)

My family loves beans, and this soup is wondeful! All the beans fit in a quart jar, so I measured enough beans for 5 batches into jars, layering them so they look pretty! Now anytime I want to make this soup, I just have to grab a jar of beans instead of measuring them all out each time!

used 1 cup diced onion instead of dried and it was terrific!
