One thing to remember on bean soups, I like to crockpot them on low for 8 hours, and if you use
Cannellini beans, you'll want to boil them before your start your crockpot soup this way, as they have a toxin in them that requires high temperatures to kill. Sometimes a crockpot on low won't get hot enough.

If you don't, you should. They are very good for your health, and studies show they lead to a longer lifespan.

I HATE kidney beans tho...Limas are pushing it.

I usually use kidney beans when I make chili con carne, except if I'm going to use it for chili dogs or sloppy joes. When I make chili for those I don't use any beans.

I also like Lima beans for a quick snack. I'll microwave a can of them and mix them up with salt, pepper, butter and sometimes a little garlic powder. I think they're yummy.

Beans tend to have a lot of carbs.

Lots of protein as well. I flavor mine with smoked turkey.
