Description
This comes from sundays at the moosewood restaurant. It sounds like the ultimate comfort food! Times are a guess as i have no made this yet. I am waiting for cold weather! My estimate does not include time to soak beans. This soup takes time to cook so wait till a day when you will be home for several hours.
