I'm unemployed and involuntarily vegan for health reasons. Dried mixed beans, brown rice, and frozen vegetables are keeping me alive.

    I prefer 239 bean soup. Yes, it must be exactly 239 beans, not even one bean more.

    If 239 bean soup had even just one more bean, it would be too farty bean soup.

    With an average-sized spoon, every spoonful could be a different type of 6 bean soup—it’s like getting five thousand soups in one!

    There's way more than fifteen beans in there. I'd say there's at least like 200.

    I fucking love these.

    I just throw the seasoning packet away, never used it at all. Just use the bean mix itself, it's really good, HOWEVER be aware that some of the "beans" are actually lentils, and they break down into a mush faster than others.

    If you cook the beans a long time in your soup as I do then it gets REALLY bad looking. We call it "ugly soup" because it's ugly AF but DELICIOUS.

    Edit: I've NEVER found a rock in these also, not once in the dozens of bags, maybe hundreds, I've used.

    Give me a semi–plausible reason why these beans need to be unmixed into 15 separate piles and I will give it all of my focus.

    There is no way these beans all have the same cooking time

    Not strictly on topic, but you should post this on Lemmy Shitpost. They really like beans.

    YES! Make it with vegetable stock (and the vegan "ham" flavoring included) and it's especially tasty.

    I gotta make this again soon

    Oh hey Hurst! They package these in my city. Back in college I used to make a pot of these and a huge batch of cornbread regularly all winter. Good memories.

    15?! Ridiculous! We need to breed one universal bean that covers everyone's use cases.

    It's always an odd number with beans.

    This, 5 (or 3) bean chilli. Heinz and their 57...

    It's delicious, prepared with or without the recommended canned tomatoes.

    For those complaining about gas, properly soaked and a potato added (not eaten) helps a lot. Cooking to mush or a bit of soda works but messes with the flavor.
