MY JANUARY RECIPE

SUPER BOWL SOUP
3 beef bouillon cubes
3 Tablespoons chives
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon savory
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
14 1/2 or 16 oz. undrained can of stewed tomatoes
Rinse 2 cups of multi-colored beans with cold water. Soak beans overnight or use quick method--boil for 5 minutes and let set covered for an hour. Then drain & rinse beans, return to pot and add 5 cups water plus seasoning. Raise heat until boiling then reduce heat. Cover & simmer 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Then add can of stewed tomatoes. Let soup boil then reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes longer.
This is a good food storage soup because it doesn't require any meat but you could put some ham in it if you wanted. I used to put the spices in a spice bag and mix the dry beans up myself, then put it all in a canning jar and give them away for Christmas. Enjoy!
