Grandma's Lazy Bean Soup

We really haven't forgotten you. We've been getting back into the rhythm of life and haven't been posting quite as frequently as we had hoped. Never fear, we still have several more of our Grandma's recipes to share!

Today I made Lazy Bean Soup - it took me about 10 minutes to put together (besides soaking the beans) and then cooked in the crockpot. Simple, delicious, and healthy. Grandma was very interested in health and nutrition and spent time reading about it and planning meals.

This was not so much soup as it was beans. It was hearty and really good. If you want it to be soupier, add another 2-4 cups of water. made this with white beans (we called this "ketchup bean soup" growing up because we loved to add ketchup to it). This is fabulous served with cornbread.
