Here is Mandy's delicious recipe for her bean soup she makes on Good Friday! Enjoy!
Step One - soak beans in water 24 hours before making (or boil for 2 hours before preparing) - drain and rinse beans.
1 ½ cup dried beans
4 cups water
Step Two - Saute together until soft and translucent - add to pot
½ cup butter
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped green pepper
½ cup chopped celery
2 cloves garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Step Three - Add sauteed vegetables and beans to pot - add the rest of ingredients and bake in oven at 325 degrees 6 - 8 hrs - check water levels occasionally to see if you need to add more water (more than likely you will need to add more water)
1 chopped zucchini
3 carrots sliced
1 cup celery (chunky chopped)
1 can of diced tomatoes
4 cups of water
Vegetable bouillon cube
More salt and pepper to taste
Bean soup can be made faster by simmering on the stove for 2 - 3 hrs instead of baking in the oven.
***Add water to make soup - thicker or thinner (whatever your preference) however the more water you add, the more likely you will need more seasoning.

Many have asked for this Holy Hour that my mom complied, so we have provided a downloadable PDF of all the prayers.
