FRENCH MARKET BEAN SOUP

Winter is the perfect time for warming soups. I was given a version of this recipe many years ago, and it has become adapted and changed to make it a staple in our house at this time of year. For teacher gifts this year, I packaged the beans in a decorative bag, attached a tiny tabasco sauce, and the recipe. It was a hit!
