Cooking Creation Day 1: 7 bean soup

So today I made a Kedem Seven Bean Soup Mix. The soup mix packet comes with all of the beans and soup flavoring mix. It was really easy to make, I just followed the directions on the back of the packet, but I did cook it for about an hour longer than it said it needed. Meaning a total of 3 hours. But once I added the seasoning packet it smelled amazing!!
