I can't believe I haven't rated this before! I make this all the time and it tastes much better than the canned store bought type. Only, I like my beans really mushy, so I do this a little differently than what the recipe states. I soak the beans in the crock pot overnight, then turn on low in the morning and leave it on that day and through the night. By the next day, they are mushy enough for me to squash w/o too much effort. Then, I put them in zip lock baggies to save for later.

This was surprisingly good!!! My 7 yr old had seconds, which is good cuz he doesn't usually care for soup. I put it all in the crock pot on high and it was ready in 2 hours. I left out the canned tomatoes, though, and added a little cheese. This, with the sweet dinner rolls on this web site, was yummy!!!

I made this last night and my family thought it was good, although needed a little more spice. I loved how easy and quick it was to make, too! The little ones gobbled up the pasta. (I didn't use the one in this recipe...didn't have it on hand. Instead, I used some bow tie pasta.) This recipe is a keeper, though, and I will make it again! Thanks!
