Sylvia's comments: I nuked the beans to fast-soak them, and it worked
great. Even the kids liked this one! I used a fine-ground wurst instead
of Polish sausage and cut it into bite-sized pieces before cooking. I also
added some powdered beef stock to the water for cooking. Then I packed the
soup into empty jars to take to work. It reheats great! Also worked well
for a quick supper for the kids. Definitely a keeper. I might add some
chopped browned onions next time, thoug
