Personal Notes:
I thought I knew how to make bean soup until I made it the first time after we were married. I was soon corrected and taught to make it just like my mother-in-law. Please note: carrot and parsley added in are my additions, although they are added in small quantities, cut up very fine and no one knows the difference.
