Tangy Bean Soup
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 6-1/2 hours
YIELD: 6 servings.
This soup has a great southwestern flavor and is a real winner with my family. I love it because I can have the soup cooking in my crock pot, and when I get home from work, I can quickly make the dumplings and fix dinner in a jiffy.
