Have you found that starting from scratch with dried beans is really better?
Lately I've been using canned beans, the Puerto Rican Goya brand--pink, white, black, red, kidney, pinto--a large variety to choose from. Also I like Parmelat boxed tomatoes, unsalted...and use frozen vegetables to add robustness, plus thick vegetable stock base. A little chipotle adds zest--and the soup is great topped with grated romano cheese.
Canned beans cuts prep time to 30 minutes.
