Recipe Friday : vegetable bean soup

Years ago I used to make a hamburger soup.   Years ago, the whole family went to Europe for Christmas so we were alone.   We had Grama and Grampa for Christmas Day Dinner with all the trimmings, but we had hamburger soup and a mix of salads our children brought home from Mc Donald's because they worked Christmas Eve and there was leftovers at closing.

My new version of Hamburger Soup has morfed into Vegetable Bean Soup.



  • 4 cups beans ( scratch cooked, or 2 different cans of beans) 
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes, undrained - with italian seasoning if possible 
  • 4 carrots, chopped 
  • 2 celer ribs, chopped 
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock 
  • Italian seasoning, garlic, onion powder 
  1. Cook the beans in the insta pot or open the cans 
  2. Sauté the carrots and celery in a little olive oil until the celery is limp. 
  3. Add beans, tomatoes, stock, vegetables and seasoning to the slow cooker. 
  4. Cook on low for 6-10 hours.   ( however long you have until dinner time ) 
  5. Garish with a choice of sour cream, parmesean, croutons, 

Serve with a bread
