I used a roll of pork sausage for this 15 bean soup. I like using ground meat in my bean soup recipes. You can use, ground beef, ground turkey, ground chicken or ground pork. Each type of sausage will add it’s own flavors to the slow cooker 15 bean soup recipe. You could even use some leftover Thanksgiving turkey to make a bean soup with the Hurst 15 Bean soup bag.

This was my first time cooking with a bag of Hurst 15 Bean Soup beans. I wasn’t sure how the smaller split peas and lentils would cook in the slow cooker. I thought they might over cook but I was very pleasantly surprised to see that all of the dry beans kept their shape after the long hours of slow cooking.

I can’t wait to try some of the other Hurst Bean flavors.
