To prepare, rinse the dried bean mix thoroughly under cold water. Place the rinsed beans in a large pot and cover them with plenty of fresh water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Add the included ham seasoning packet during the simmering process. Continue to cook until the beans are tender, which can take several hours depending on the bean varieties. You can add vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions for extra flavor and texture. Adjust seasoning as needed.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike canned bean soups, this mix allows for greater control over the final texture and seasoning. The individual beans retain their shape better when cooked from dried. The included ham seasoning provides a savory depth that complements the earthy bean flavors.
