I put a bag of pinto beans in my crock pot with water and let them cook several hours until softened and then wondered how was I going to season them. After browsing my pantry for several moments I decided to throw in 2 packages of onion soup mix.

Suffice it to say, they turned out wonderfully, (I've added nothing else) and my 6 year old, who hates beans of any kind, had two bowls last night and another today.

As far as I know, the soup is fat free. And surprisingly ... no gas! I don't know if the onions have anything to do with this, but thought I'd throw that in. ;-)
