Oh So Simple Bean Soup

I've had a pound of white beans in my cupboard for more than 2 years, so I thought I should try to put them to good use. I soaked them yesterday, so they would be ready for me today.

I tried looking for a good recipe to use, but nothing was jumping out at me, so I decided to do a little experimenting. This is NOT something I usually do.

Feeling a little daring, I put the beans in some fresh water, put it on to boil, and started grabbing cans from my cupboard.

Here's the end result:

Oh So Simple Bean Soup

1-15.25oz can whole kernel corn, drained
1-10.75oz can cheddar cheese soup + 1 can of water
1-15oz can of crushed tomato + 1 can of water
1-15oz can of tomato sauce + 1 can of water
1-15oz can of chili beans
1-15oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 lb of dried white beans, soaked and cooked
1/4 cup of Wahoo! Chili (Tastefully Simple)
1 1/2 T Garlic Garlic (Tastefully Simple)
1/4 c minced onion
1 T salt
1 tsp basil

Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Simmer for at least 30 minutes until hot and flavorful.

I topped this with Texas Toast(R) Cheese & Garlic croutons. Yummy!
