Easy Bean Soup - Crock Pot

So, we ate this on Tuesday and it was pretty darn good. It's not my favorite soup, but it is easy and our friends also enjoyed it. For us, we might make it occasionally, but as my spouse says, "It's not our favorite."

Easy Bean Soup

1 can (15.5 oz) Cannellini beans (white kidney beans), drained
1 can (16 oz) pinto or red beans, drained
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained
2 cans (10 oz each) diced tomatoes with green chilis w/ liquid*
1/2 onion, chopped
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth**

Combine all ingredients in greased 3 1/2 to 5 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat 6 - 8 hours or on high heat for 3 - 4 hours. Makes 6 - 8 servings.

* For a milder soup, just use diced Italian tomatoes. If you want a stronger soup or you don't have diced tomatoes with green chilis, use diced tomatoes and dice up 2 - 3 green chilis to give it more umph.

** Use vegetable broth and voila - vegetarian!
