CONGRESSIONAL BEAN SOUP- GRANDMA'S
Grandma had this recipe for years and made it in a stockpot. It was supposedly developed for the US Congress in the eartly 1900's. Later both Mom and Grandma made this in a crockpot and added seasonings. The original recipe is rather bland. Adjust the seasonings to your taste. This is good served hot with corn bread.
