Crock Pot Bean Soup

This recipe is based on the Hurst 15 Bean Soup Crock Pot or Slow Cooker Recipe

Soak 5 cups of mixed dried beans overnight
Rinse them several times

Add to crock pot in this order:

Rinsed beans
6 carrots diced
6 celery stalks diced
1 onion diced
2 Tbs Garlic from jar
2 Tbs Chili Powder
2 Knorr Vegetable Bouillon Cubes mixed in 1 or 2 cups of water
Enough water to cover the beans and vegetables and leave about 1 inch of headroom

Set crockpot to High and wait 5+ hours or Auto-shift (6+) or Slow (8+).  All times are estimated, of course.

When the largest beans are done, add half the ingredients to a very large pot.

Split the following evenly between each half of the soup:

2 cans Diced Tomatoes
1 can Tomato Sauce
Juice of 2-3 Lemons

Freeze and enjoy for many days.
