Notes
Note from Chef Jill - I cook my own beans in a slow cooker. However, the soup is still delicious with canned beans. What I would do is drain and rinse the beans, then put the drained beans into the soup with a cup of water, veggie broth or chicken broth. Note from me - I wrote about preparing your own beans yesterday. Go read the tutorial and see how easy it is to prepare your own beans.
