Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The first time I heard of this was at Church. One of the ladies suggested we mix the dry beans and package them to sell as a fund raiser during an indoor yard sale. So we all pitched in and bought our bags of beans and measured them quarter cup at a time and then attached the cooking instructions and sold them along with many bowls of the soup that we had cooked in the kitchen. It was a huge success and I have loved it every since. It makes a boat load of soup so its really good for big gatherings. It also freezes well.
