32 Bean and 8 Vegetable Soup

While I have created my fair share of bean and legume soup recipes, I've never encountered such a delightful blend of ingredients that make up this "32-Bean and 8-Vegetable Soup". Not only is it hearty and filling, but the protein/fiber ratio makes it even acceptable for those folks who prefer a lower carb count meal. I used some "Air-Dried Tomato Flakes", instead of canned tomatoes, for a dash of color and flair. The end result was a bountiful, beautiful pot of "Stoup" thicker than a soup but not quite a stew! Next time I'm ordering the 5 lb bag of this "32-Bean Soup" treasure!

I have made this soup several times and have turned my family and friends on to it. They love it! I also have experimented with it in different ways. I've used chicken or beef broths, added a ham bone, chicken, fresh vegetables and spices. I love my soup spicy so I cook it with jalapenos and add cayenne pepper too. I make a lot, then freeze it in baggies and take one out whenever I want a quick, hearty, healthy meal - which is often. And it tastes just as good as the day I made it! I know this soup is so nutritious and I feel really good when I eat it. I will keep coming back for more!

I'm a great cook and make my own soups all year. This soup mix is better than I can make! I follow the directions on the package. Sometimes I use chicken or beef broth as a base but it's great any way you make it. Sure beats trying to add all the ingredients individually. It's very economical as I only use a small amount to make a good pot of soup for the two of us.

This bean soup is really good, and really REALLY good with a pork shank added...I now take a soup packet to dinner party hosts instead of the customary wine. A big hit! Leanna.

We made a super hearty vegan soup with this as the base. Added pureed tomatoes/basil, lots of italian spices, some chili powder blend for heat, a splash of red wine vinegar to add some interesting undertones of flavor, homemade vegan Italian sausage and some kale. Very delicious!

There is nothing better than this 32 Bean soup. We've ordered this twice and our children can't get enough. I added a ham bone and it was delicious. Its a hearty soup that sticks to your ribs.

Who knew there were 32 kinds of beans?! Well, this company sure knows, and the bean soup they sell is simply delicious. Healthy, not too much salt (always a problem with prepared soups), and I like to add ham or chicken to compliment the veggies. This is a GREAT company, I've been ordering their Canadian wild rice for years, it's simply the best. Nancy.

My kids love this bean soup because not only do the beans taste much better than many dried beans, they are all different sizes and shapes, and are fun to eat. May sound funny, but this soup is very beautiful. I often add some extra fresh veggies and it's the perfect winter meal.

I made this bean and vegetable soup for the first time at a dinner party for eight, and it proved a big hit, a great start to the meal (maybe even the best part of the meal). I prepared it just the way it specified, maybe even cooked it down a bit too much, but it was so tasty.
