the ratio is 1 cup of beans to 3 cups of water / broth / combo

3 cups Bobs Red Mill 13 bean soup mix

9 - 10 cups water / chicken broth

1pound pack of thick cut bacon

You can choose whatever veggies you like. You can decide how much you want

1 yellow onion roughly chopped

3 - 4 sliced carrots not to thin

3 - 4 sliced celery not to thin

1 14.5 oz can of stewed tomatoes, 

if you have diced. that works too -

 DO NOT ADD TOMATOES UNTILL AFTER THE BEANS ARE COOKED

DO NOT ADD ANY ACIDIC INEGEDIENTS UNTILL AFTER THE BEANS ARE COOKED. It can cause some of the beans to stay hard.

Spices are up to you. I don't measure the spices. 

refrigerator garlic from the tube, or the jar

garlic powder, because I love garlic

1-2 Bay leaves

poultry seasoning

turmeric

Basil - ??  you will see little flecks throughout the soup
