Buckeye Bean Soup

vegan soup sos-free

We make soup one a week to have all week long. The recipe is always the same, celery, carrots, onions, herbs, spices, and 2 cups of beans, plus enough liquid to reach the fill line of our 6-quart InstantPot. All the ingredients are organic. I used to use the same recipe on the stove top.…

Magic Beans Omelet Bread
