I finally got around to making this soup:

The amount of beans may have been slightly off as I used dried instead of
canned and I accidentally dropped a few down the sink as I was draining the
water off. I can't have carrots so omitted those. I also only had celery
hearts so used a little more of those and added some dried celery leaves and
parsley. I also only used a potato masher in the soup. I tend to use that
for beans. No sense in having to hunt down and plug in the immersion
blender when the old fashioned way does just fine.

I actually like this better than Campbell's. Winner! And it makes a
reasonable amount unlike some bean soup recipes that make a ton.
