The New Year has hit most of the country with weather that has us longing for some comfort food. Soup has always been a comfort food for me, whether it’s chicken soup when you have a cold or a hearty bean soup to warm you up, it’s always a good time for soup!

In the California Bean recipe library we have soups using all kinds of varieties of dry beans. These soups served with some artisan bread will be perfect for those dreary winter days.
