Bean Soup (DF)

My brother actually came up with this recipe, but he cooks it on the stove instead of the crock pot. I tried it in the crock pot the first time I made it and it came out really good.  I've been making it in the crock pot ever since.   This is so versatile - you can substitute any beans you want and it still comes out good !!!
