Holiday Winter Bean Soup Mix

These can make a great gift. Take a pint jar, layer the different beans, put the spices in a small Ziploc bag. Print cooking instructions on paper and glue to a recipe card. After closing the jar with lid and ring, cover the jar top with fabric or wrapping paper. Tie with curling ribbon in maroon, dark green and gold, or black, to color coordinate with the beans in the mix. Punch a hole in the top of the recipe card and thread the card onto the back of the package.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I had this recipe a few years back and my sons LOVE this soup. I lost my book that it was in and have winged making it since, although it always came out well. I still like the original recipe the best, except I brown Italian sausage and replace the ham shanks with it.
