This 15 Bean Soup Recipe is a delicious, hearty, and nutritious soup that only takes a few minutes of prep. The slow cooker does the rest of the work!

15 bean soup served in a white bowl with bread on the side.

One of my favorite things about this soup is that I can stock up on a few bags of 15 bean soup and pretty much always have a simple dinner that I can throw in the crockpot on a busy day! It uses basic pantry staples and fresh produce that I generally always have on hand.

Have you ever tried the nasty bean soup mix they have at the cannery? Do you think it would be good with this recipe? I can’t ever make it taste good, and I have 2 big cans of it.

Eliece asked me the same question! I’m not sure what is the bean soup mix from the cannery. I’ll have to go get myself some and experiment with it.

Do you pre-soak the beans before cooking?
Some people mention that the beans are tough after cooking if they’re not soaked first.

I am looking for a receipe that starts from scratch – herbs and spices only – no bought broth or packaged seasoning –
