Six Bean Soup
1 part lentils
1 part pinto or red beans
1 part northern white beans
1 part garbanzo beans
1 part black beans
1 part whole green peas

Sort beans and pick out any rocks and dirt clods. Mix the dry beans in a storage container to be used as needed.

To cook:

Put 2-3 cups of bean mix into large pot. Fill with water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Turn off, remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour. Then return to heat and simmer for 2-4 hours until soft. Add chopped onions, garlic, and other vegetables (carrots, celery, green beans, corn, etc.) as desired. Season with seasoned salt, pepper, cayenne and/or Cajun Seasoning or Mexican Seasoning. (Do not add acid - like tomatoes, or salt until beans are soft.)
