1 pound 16 Bean Soup Mix
32 ounces vegetable broth
2 large onions, diced
1 bunch celery, diced
2 large bell peppers, diced
32 ounces diced tomatoes
16 ounces can green chiles, diced
2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman's Vegizest or other no salt seasoning

1
Clean, rinse, soak beans overnight. Drain and put in covered crock pot on medium with vegetable broth. Then chop onions and celery, add to crock pot.
2
About an hour later, chop and add bell peppers.
3
A couple hours after adding bell peppers, add tomatoes and seasonings. Leave to simmer another hour or until done. Add chopped swiss chard leaves and simmer another 15 minutes.
4
I double this recipe and freeze it in 3-4 cup servings. It keeps well in the fridge at least a week.
5
If you don't like your vegs soft, you can add them to the pot later so they will be crispier.
6
* Rub dried basil between fingers to release all the flavor before adding.
7
** We use El Yucateco hot sauce. Beware hot sauces can become hotter as you rewarm dishes it's used in, so you may want to add it at the table or eliminate it completely.
