Growing up, I was never a huge soup fan. There were only a few certain soups I liked. My mom usually only made soup in the winter, and we couldn’t go play in the snow until we had finished all our soup.
Looking back, that’s why I think I hated soup, because now I love it, and can’t get enough of it. This Five Bean Soup, has a special place in my heart. It is so tasty, and so easy to throw together.
Five-Bean Soup is such an easy soup recipe, and you probably already have most the ingredients. This soup is my go to recipe when I am busy or don’t have time to go to the store.
I usually keep all the beans in my pantry in case I need a quick recipe. I love to dip bread sticks in this soup. It’s delicious, and full of fiber and protein.
add a little more flavor:
The best way to add a little flavor to soup, is seasonings. We love adding in a little extra taco seasoning, cumin, jalapeño salt, garlic salt, etc. If you have a favorite go to seasoning, I am sure it would taste delicious in this.
My husband like a little kick in his, and sometimes, we cook with jalapeños in the soup. You could also use a beef bullion cube as well.
would this soup freeze well?
This soup would freeze great in an airtight storage container. We recommend freezing it for up to one month.
For the best results, use it within the month.
To thaw, place it in the fridge 24 hours before you plan to serve it, then microwave, or bring to a boil over the stove, before re-serving.

there is no recipe for 5 bean soup!
Might be good if you can figure out what’s in it.
This soup is DELICIOUS! I made it with vegetable broth instead of chicken broth (makes it kosher for the Daniel Fast!) and love this recipe. Thank you for sharing! I have passed it on to several friends and will definitely make it again.
Ever made it in a crockpot? Is it a standard high heat for 4 hours?
You would want to saute your onions and red peppers first, then add the garlic for one minute. Then add everything in the slow cooker until cooked through. Maybe a few hours on high is all it would need.
Could anything go wrong with this if I left it on low in the slow cooker all day? Like for 8-9 hours? This seems like a great recipe, but we’re gone all day and we don’t have an auto set on our crockpot to turn on at a certain time. We’d have to turn it on in the morning…
It may be a little long for it to cook at that temperature. Does your slow cooker have a warm setting. Usually a warm setting on a slow cooker is around 145 degrees F. That might be a better setting for 9 hours. You will want to saute the onions and pepper first.
I paired this soup with a homemade bread bowl. SO FREAKING DELICIOUS! It smelled like a Panera in my house and it tasted like a restaurant level soup too! Perfect for fall! I will be making this again!
Hi Beth! Your sweet comment made our whole day! We are so glad you liked the soup! Have a great weekend!
Made this soup on a whim after looking at Pinterest for bean soups, it turned out SOOOO GOOD!!!! Husband will LOVE this 🙂 thanks for the great recipe!
Can you let me know how many calories are in the soup you have my email address
Would this soup freeze well?
It should freeze well in an airtight freezer container.
I bought a mix of beans at a food co-op. Do I need to soak before using? If so, for how long?
We used all canned beans for this soup recipe. You would have to follow the package directions on your bagged beans on how to soak them before cooking.
This was FANTASTIC!!! I had soaked and precooked beans early in the week to make burritos but we were needing a soup night so I found this recipe. I have a vegan 17 yr old, vegetarian husband, and my 14 yr old and I are “flexitarian.” Everyone LOVED this! I used veggie broth instead of chicken broth and my bean mix was a little different (black, pinto, adzuki) but I used the basic recipe and the exact spice measurements (so you can be flexible on the beans.) Some of us added Sriracha for heat. Perfect healthy soup with a side of salad! Thank you!
Loved this recipe, made it 7 bean, added dark kidney and small white beans. Sautéed onion pepper garlic first, then put in slow cooker. Delicious!
I gotta say, this soup is very good but i added 1dice jalapeno and green bell peppers. Everybody love it nothing was left over.
This is a very flavorful and hearty soup. I made this to have for lunch for the next few days. You would never know that it’s healthy and only 0 Weight Watchers Freestyle Points, not including any toppings. I did not use any toppings on this soup, as I didn’t feel it needed it. It’s so delicious!
This is really good! I’ve made it a few times and I often throw in some diced ham and just use whatever beans I have on hand. ?
Likes this soup, quick and easy. I added some
Cayenne and blended about 1/3 of the soup and added it back in.
Do I have to drain and rinse the beans or can just add them straight out of the can? Can not wait to make this soup. Winter is coming here, need some warm comfort,
Drain and rinse all of the beans. It’s in #5 in the instructions. Hope this helps keep you nice and warm!
This soup is really, really good! I usually buy the dried bean 6 bean soup mix, but this was so much easier! I added a can of garbanzo beans to make it a “6” bean soup, and cubed ham. The spices were spot on, and I don’t think I will ever go back to the dried bean version!
Do you have a calorie count per serving for this soup?
Made this soup a number of times. Instead of red peppers, I use a sweet potato. It is delicious.
Your recipe was very much liked by my family. They were enthralled. We did not have all five beans. I substituted the pinto beans for the white beans and it still tasted wonderful. I wonder if the taste keeps enhancing over the next few helpings left over. The idea of a spoonful of sour cream was a very nice addition. A great recipe.
The 5 bean canned soup is delicious! Made it just like the recipe except for the green pepper (didn’t have any) and used dried chopped onion. We had stocked up on canned goods due to Covid and I was thrilled to find a recipe to use the beans we had. This soup is will be a regular in our house!
Hi Hilary. We are so happy to hear that you liked the 5 Bean Soup. It’s so easy and delicious!
This recipe is my go to here in Ames, IA many times during the fall and into winter! I just love this soup!
