BEAN WITH NOODLE SOUP

T wanted to come up with a recipe that did not taste like Chill. Thru trial and error I came up with this soup or stew that looks like Chili and has some of the same ingredients. I used Heirloom red beans I found on the net but any dried beans will do. I hope you love this recipe.
