        You could add potatoes if you want. I’ve never added potatoes to bean soup before, but it may be good!

      First time making this vegetarian dish. We enjoyed it and liked the corn and thought corn would work well in the buffalo chicken slow cooker meal. Next time we will add something to make it spicy. I do find soaking the beans overnight soften them up more than just 6 hours on high.

      Do you soak the beans overnight? We are having a debate regarding this. (Will come back and rate after we make the chili tomorrow.)

      Honey I’m from Louisiana, 5th generation Cajun. We DO NOT put corn in beans. That’s like putting corn in GUMBO. SOUTHERN DON’T. That includes tomatoes. I use your recipes all the time.. This one no.

      What sounds to be a delicious soup, especially during our cold winters here in Canada.
      We don’t have the bean soup mix here but is it possible to mix the beans to make our own version of the package!! I can already smell it lol
      Have a wonderful day

        I don’t see why not! They do have online ordering though. I order a couple different varieties when I do order.
