Food Storage Recipes: 12 Bean Soup
It’s beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS around here! Winter time always makes me want to pull out all of my delicious soup recipes. Since a lot of good soups are made out of all shelf stable foods, we wanted to share a few with you this week. This is a favorite recipe of mine from my mother-in-law. And later this week (after we give you some info on split peas), Julie will be sharing her famous split pea soup recipe. Hope you enjoy!

¼ tsp. lemon pepper
2 carrots, diced (can use dehydrated)

¼ tsp. salt and ginger
1 pinch red pepper flakes
*You can buy this as a mix or make your own with a variety of the legumes in your food storage

oh yum – I LOVE 12 bean soup! Although my recipe varies from year to year depending on what beans I have!
That soup sounds really good. It's always great to find a way to have a hearty delicious meal without a lot of work.

I'm from Europe and am working on embryosteps (I'm not even ready for babysteps yet). Last summer I was in Utah and noticed a friend of mine put wheat kernels in the blender to make pancakes.
I was flabbergasted and am spreading the word about this option overhere. To go one step further I put beans in the blender and it turns into powder in notime at all. So might that speed up a lot of soaking time? Could I make a quick creamy beansoup that way. Do you have recipes for that option?
I found the recipe, I could have known there was one here. http://foodstoragemadeeasy.net/2009/03/29/beans...
