HEARTY PORK BEAN SOUP

Hearty Pork Bean Soup image

It's wonderful to come home to this pork bean soup dinner simmering away in a slow cooker, especially on a busy weeknight. This soup uses dried beans and is simple to throw together in the morning before work. When you get home, just add a few more ingredients, and in half an hour dinner is ready! Do not put the tomatoes in for the first 8 hours of cooking, or the beans will not become soft. -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

This soup is one of my favorite creations. It has a true Southwestern flavor. I used to make it a lot spicier but now I have kids and cut the chilies back.
