Great bean soup mix, and great gift (my friends enjoyed it, too). I did not use large limas, but substitued red beans (for christmas color), and added some barley. I layered the beans (as in photo) and found that for quart size jars, I needed to use 5-6 tblps per layer, but only 2-3 tblsp per layer for the pint size jars. As gifts, these were a big hit for Christmas 2008--thanks so much for posting this gift "recipe" (soup reviewed separately).

We love mixed bean soup.(15 bean or whatever)I more than Trippled this recipe. Made it up in collander so I could mix them up real good then put them in a 1/2 gallon jar. Did the same with the spices, put it into a small jar. I used a lot of odds and ends of beans that I had small amounts of.Some that are not list in the recipe,Cramberry beans for one. Thank you so much for posting , will have to try your bean soup recipe.
