Good Luck Soup for New Year's Day
In the cook book Taste the Best---25 years, St. Mark Spinnakers had a recipe for Bean Soup. At that time they assembled and sold jars of mixed dried beans to fund their mission projects. Pictured above is a variation on this recipe using a commercially bought 15 bean mix and using sausage instead of ham.
Good Luck Bean Soup
