I do not blame them I like to make and eat bean soup. A complete meal in a bowl ! Home made bread is a must for enjoying the soup, good to the last drop !

Keeping tigers as house pets is insane. They are the most beautiful of the big cats, but they are predators and wild animals and are therefore unpredictable.

If the Borges family suddenly disappears, I don’t think what happened will be much of a mystery.

McGuires restaurant in Pensacola, Florida has that exact bean soup on their menu daily. I believe they charge nineteen cents for it if you order it with a meal, which is supposedly what it costs originally in Washington for members of Congress.

Thanks for the recipe. I had it on my mind to make bean soup. My mom always made delicious soups but I do not have any of her recipes. She never wrote them down and now she is not with us anymore. :(
