(Layer the dried beans in a jar and tie the recipe to the jar)

1/2 cup dried black beans
1/2 cup small red chili beans
1/3 cup dried Great Northern beans

Add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes or until softened. Stir in carrots and cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in tomatoes and basil, and cook 3 minutes. Add 8 cups water and beans and bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming any foam that rises to surface.

    2 questions.
    what are cranberry beans and can I substitute some other type?

    can I leave out the lentils or do I have to add something else to take up what lentils leave out. (in other words will the dish be as thick without them)

    ok 3 questions.
    what are chili beans. Kidney beans I know chili beans I don’t.

      Cranberry beans are a cream colored bean with red spots. New Englanders call them shell beans. You can use something else and can substitute any of the beans if you want. Kidney beans are the same as chili and yes you can leave out the lentils. The pearl barley helps with the thickness mostly but if it doesn’t seem thick enough just cook it with out the lid for a bit to thicken.

      PS You are allowed 3,4, 5 and maybe even 6 questions if you want. HA!HA! : )

    I have never heard of either shell or cranberry beans. Will have to see if I can find them next big grocery shopping trip in the city. They sound interesting for a change in appearance of a meal.
    I have been reading here while taking breaks from knitting. I have 6 outfits done for Barbie with one half done and one pair of slacks to start. I think I like playing dress up barbie more now than when I was a kid.
    Seeing you HAHA reminded me of grampa. He used to write to all his daughters and when he thought he was being funny he put ha ha. So thanks for the nice memory.
    Glad I can leave out the lentils. I have tried them and just don’t like the taste of them. But the soups sounds good otherwise.
