To prepare, typically you would rinse the dried soup mix. Then, combine it with water or broth in a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the beans are tender and the vegetables are rehydrated. You can add additional seasonings or vegetables during the simmering process to enhance the flavor. It is best to allow ample time for the beans to soften completely for the best texture.
