13 Bean Soup Mix, 29oz (Pack of 1) - Non GMO, Vegan, Kosher

Easy to make. Absolutely as delicious as my homemade Mexican pintos.

The older I get, the more i like a good hearty soup and anything from Bob's Red Mill is worth trying. We really like the 13 Bean Soup Mix and add broth, onions, and whatever other vegetables (and sometimes meat) we have on hand. Really good on a cold Winter day. I can almost smell it cooking...

It was delicious, made an awesome soup with it.

These were so yummy. I added ham hocks to mine and put it in slow cooker.

I made a big pot of bean vegetable soup and really loved it. But because the beans cooked at different rates, I couldn’t get them all to be done perfectly. If I got them all soft, some were mushy. If not (my preference), some were too firm. But I loved that I was able to get such a great variety without having to buy each type separately. My soup was very healthy and tasty.

OK, so I'm not a traditionalist. I throw away the seasoning packet and use the beans. I'll put the beans in a stockpot, rinse them off and drain them. Then, cover them with about 2 to 3 inches of water over the top of the beans and add a teaspoon of BAKING SODA to the water. Cover the pot with a lid and let sit overnight or at least 5 hours. Rinse the beans thoroughly. Then cover the beans with 2 inches of water over the top of the beans. If you haven't used baking soda to soak beans before, it's not just to make the beans cook faster, but it's to prevent gas from the beans and gastric problems. Once you cook beans that way, you won't cook them any other way again. It's nice to be able to eat beans without gas. You'll want to bring the beans and water to a boil, then lower the temperature to just simmering and cook about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, so your beans don't stick. Check the beans for doneness at about 25 minutes (but not sooner). If you need to add a little more water, then add just a little more. Once your beans seem like they're almost done, drain any extra water off of them and add your seasonings. There are tons of recipes. This is what I use to season my beans, because we're both diabetics: I give a good squirt of Rays Sugar Free Smoked BBQ Sauce, a good squirt of Ketchup, 1/4 cup Golden Monk Fruit (artificially sweetened brown Sugar) and then about a tablespoon of KC Masterpiece Marinade (optional). Stir everything into the beans and simmer it another 15 or so minutes (making sure to stir and add a little water if needed) It makes yummy baked beans. Instead of heating the seasonings and beans on the stovetop, you can also add your seasonings and then put it in the oven at 400 for about 15 to 20 minutes to give it more of that "Baked Bean" taste. If putting it into the oven, you may need to add a little more water to "Loosen" it up. I recommend these beans, for whatever you want to use them in. Thank you for reading my review.

This 13 bean mix has been solid so far. The beans cook evenly without many hard ones, and they take on seasoning well without falling apart. It’s a simple, reliable base for soups or stews, and the bags have been consistent enough that cooking time is pretty predictable.

Best bean selection. I add some veggies and broth. Great meal
