In reply to Cathy. Hi Cathy, No you don't need to soak the beans first. I would sort them and remove anything that's not supposed to be there (rare) and then rinse them. Put everything together in the crockpot and let her cook.

I made this last night for supper for four people. I used the whole bag and the “salt and simmer” method. I added thyme and bay leaves to the mix. Everything was ready in just over 2.5 hours. There is some for leftovers this week. Delicious!

Thank you for this recipe. I had a brand new bag of Bobs Red Mill 13 bean soup mix and I couldn’t remember how I used to make it. So glad to have found your recipe in a quick google search. I also added a tablespoon of parsley, a couple tsp of marjoram, diced up a ham, threw some frozen peas in and sliced about 6-7 mushrooms. I used two cups of the bean mix and 7 cups of water, enough to cover all the ingredients and put it into my instapot set on high for 40 mins. Will let you know how it turns out.
