Expert Tips

You can also use small amounts of various leftover dried beans you may have in your cupboard. Mix them together to make 2 1/4 cups of beans, and use them instead of purchasing a package of bean soup mix.

You can use either chicken or vegetable broth to prepare this great-tasting soup. If you are vegetarian, go ahead and use the vegetable broth. But if you're simply looking for a meatless soup, we prefer the richer flavor of chicken broth.

I have been cooking with the 15 bean with kidney beans in the bags for years and there has never been a problem concerning the kidney beans.....so you pretty much threw out the soup for nothing.

I tried making this today, and I followed the directions exactly. It is very easy to put all the ingredients together, and it smelled very good while cooking. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to eat it. After it had been cooking for a while, I happened to learn that kidney beans (which were included in my bean mix -- I think they're pretty common) need to be boiled thoroughly for at least 10 minutes before cooking in a slow cooker. Apparently if you don't do this, they are toxic, and cooking at a low temperature actually increases the amount of poison. To be safe, I am going to throw out my soup and start over tomorrow :-( But I am extremely frustrated and disappointed that this was not pointed out in the recipe.
