KY Bean Soup Mix
Growing up in Kentucky, bean soup was a staple in our house—we had it at least once a month. Our KY Bean Soup Mix brings together the classic vegetables, herbs, and seasonings that make a hearty pot of beans taste like home.
For a traditional pot, use 2 tablespoons of KY Bean Soup Mix with 4 quarts of water and one 1 lb bag of beans. We recommend Great Northern Beans. It also works great as a flavorful starter for other soups, stews, and slow-cooker meals.
Ingredients: Onion, Bell Peppers, Celery, Carrot, Basil, Marjoram, Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Tomato
