Quentin,

sorry if my soup recipe sounds too daunting for you. One simplifiction
would be to use a few dieereent cns of beans insead of the dried ones. Yu
would want several cans, one of ech kind, rinsed (to get tht gunky stuff
off) adn then proceede. One thing with making a big pot of soup (which is
no harder than making a little pot of sup) is that yu hve it for days and
don't need to keep cooking. You can also freeze some of it for later.
the canned beas wudl really make it a lot easier. You could leave out the
peppers adn add them to the salad, but I don't think the soup woudl be a
tasty.
