Review by: sepadeliciousWe absolutely love this soup. I have read all the reviews and I find the one difference is how we make our soup is we soak the bean soup mix overnight in bone broth. The broth softens the beans and adds flavor to them at the same time. We make our own bone broth we use beef, turkey and mostly chicken we don't favor pork or veal broth. For our chicken broth we use mostly chicken feet that have been clean prior to making the broth. It makes a delicious golden broth and of course we only cook with the Himalaya salt. We always have broth on hand and add beef bones with a little vinegar as the vinegar draws all of the minerals out of the bone and into the broth. To add some calcium to your soup crush an eggshell soak it overnight in a little vinegar the eggshell will dissolve then add the vinegar to the soup. Bone broth is great for joint support for anyone and pets too. This soup is so delicious I would give it a 5++++. I gave over 30 lbs as gifts. By the way for those of you who are vegetarians soak the beans overnight in vegetable broth and you will taste such a difference in the soup. This is such a G-R-E-A-T SOUP. Thank You Northbay Trading

Review by: thatsocialstudiesteacherExcellent!!!I only made a small batch as I have had to throw out too many kettles of soup in the past that didn't turn out. This time I met with success and WISH I had made more! I started out trying 1/2 cup of the dry ingredients and added 4 cups water with 4 tsp. of Better than Bouillon, no Chicken Base added. I ended up adding two more cups of water, 1 Tbls Liquid Smoke, a little salt, and 1 can petite diced tomatoes. This was filling and a great low cal, vegetarian meal. I plan to bring this for lunch each day for work!

Review by: VickieGreat bulk buy item for emergency prepping/gift ideasThis is another item to buy in bulk for emergency prepping. Since I only cook for two, I usually store my soup mix in pint Bell canning jars with a small oxygenator in each jar for long term storage. That way I can pull out only the amount I need without exposing the rest of my stores to degrading oxygen. This soup mix also stores well in pails, but I divide mine into smaller mylar bags holding 3-4 cups (each with a dessicant pack at the bottom of the bag and an oxygenator on top) and then pack these bags into the large food grade pails. That way, again, I can take out only the bags I would use within a month, and reseal the pail.
I also put this mix in a pretty bag with ribbons when I give someone a loaf of my homemade sourcream rye bread. I can get a nice basket easily for 50 cents to a dollar at the thrift store, line it with a nice kitchen towel from TJ Maxx, and put in this mix and the fresh bread. A ribbon finishes the basket. Makes a nice welcome to the neighborhood for new people moving into the area, a new mom, or a single person.
Another nice gift is to get one of the mini slow cookers (like Tru brand or Crock pot) and put in small bags of several of the NorthBay soup mixes, and a pot holder. College students especially like this gift idea, as the soup can be cooking while they study, and makes a great reward for studying long hours.(Posted on

Review by: VickieOther ways to kick up soup flavorThanks for the tip on using a splash of vinegar in the soup! With all the flavored vinegars available today, you can alter the flavor of the soup by which vinegar you choose. You can also try a little lemon juice and white pepper, or red or white wine according to what meat you add to the mix.

Review by: LisaLove it!Tried this tonight, wanted to keep it vegetarian but didn't have any veggie broth so went with half chicken broth half water. Added 1 bay leaf, some cumin, cayenne pepper sauce, chilli powder, fresh ground pepper and a splash of apple cider vinegar (thanks to another reviewer!) After simmering for three hours I added a can of petite diced tomatoes with the juice & served. Will make this bean soup again & again!!!!!

Review by: ConnieA fantasic soup mixI made this bean soup for the first time and used chicken stock and leftover turkey. It was delicious, filling and gone too fast! I plan on making more this weekend as I could eat this every day and probably will. A tip: My mom always finished off her homemade soups with a splash of vinegar, usually apple cider or red wine. It does not make it taste like vinegar but it kicks up the flavor very nicely.

Review by: CindyThe picky eaters in my house rated this "Better than good" we're still raving about it today and took some for lunch!The mix arrived yesterday, knowing I needed a big batch of something in the house to warm up when the "hungries" hit, I threw the mix and some stuff I had left from other cooking projects and an intended recipe I hadn't gotten to yet in a pot and simmered and simmered and .....
After mixing up the mix to redistribute the seasonings I added the following to a large stock pot:
2 cups of mix
Nearly 16 cups of water
Smoked ham hocks
2 Bay Leaves
Some copped up celery ends with leaves
A cube of mushroom soup stock
A cube of onion soup stock
Let the above simmer about 4 hours, pulled some Sweet Italian Sausage from the freezer (about 1/2 pound, maybe a bit more), started browning on low to cook out as much grease as I could and got them a dark crispy brown, cooled and sliced into the pot. Removed the hocks, cooled, salvaged any meat. Chopped up the hock meat and put it back into the soup.
Continued to simmer until the picky eaters started coming home saying something smelled good and asking what's for dinner (about 5-6 hours total simmer time). The positive reviews and raves started the minute they tasted it. This is one mix that I made a permanent home for in the pantry.(Posted on
