German: Hearty Bean Soup

My uncle was married to a wonderful German woman who really knew her way around the kitchen.
When we went over to visit, it was always a big surprise as to what was being prepared for lunch or dinner.
Either one or the other, it didn't really matter because she was such a great cook.
This German hearty bean soup will have your guests craving for another bowl.

I have many other recipes that I'll be sharing with you but this one in particular is such a great plate to put in front of any of your friends or guests, especially on a cold winters day.
I hope you'll try it out and don't be afraid to add a little extra pinch of spice, if you like your meals hot.
