Kitchen Tips

• I have been adding beans to this recipe for years. Beans offer great value and adding them into a soup helps to keep us feeling full and satisfied. 
• If you have been looking for new ways to stretch your food dollars, try going meatless one night a week. You won’t find a better ingredient than canned beans. You should stock up each time you shop, especially when you see them on sale.  These beans can be added to chili recipes, stews, salads, dips, and more!
