Mixes from the Heartland Italian Bean Soup review

 

As I've written lately I'm having a few health issues. EARLY Monday morning Honey and I drove from the farm to the flat land (2-hours) for me to have a couple of test done at the local hospital. I thought that I could nap during the test since it would take a total of two hours but I was wrong. It seemed that the minute I laid down and got comfortable I was wide awake. So needless to say when it was time for me to cook supper I was worn out plus my blood pressure was still falling from the test. It is finally cool here so I decided to make a pot of soup. I was soooo thankful when I remembered that I still had a few mixes to try from Mixes of the Heartland.

I chose to make the Italian Bean Soup and it was wonderful. I changed up the recipe by adding only 10 oz. of crushed tomatoes and deer sausage instead of Italian sausage.  SOOO easy just what I needed on this busy, tiring, stressful day.

Don't be afraid to change up any of these mixes, they work great no matter what you make! I promise!!!
