Never-The-Same Bean Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 c. mixed dried beans/peas
10 to 12 c. water
1 large can stewed tomatoes (when available, I use 1 qt. fresh-frozen)
1 each: chicken and beef bouillon cubes
1 onion, chopped
chopped green bell pepper (if I have it)
1 c. brown rice (I'm not consistent in using this)

Preparation

Sort and rinse the dried peas and beans.
Put in a large crock-pot or slow cooker and turn setting up fairly high (I use the next-highest setting on my slow cooker and leave it for several hours).
Add bouillon, tomatoes, onion and pepper (if desired).
Walk away from it and resist lifting cover until one hour before serving time.
At that time, add the rice and a little Cajun seasoning.
Check to be sure the rice is cooked before serving.
Enjoy!!
