16 Bean Soup

4 cups 16- Bean soup mix                   3-4 cloves minced garlic
5 quarts water                                     2-3 Tbs. cumin
2 onions                                             1/8 tsp. cayenne
3-4 diced potatoes                             1 Tbs. salt
1 lb. baby carrots or diced carrots     1-2 tsp. Italian seasoning
� - 1 lb. ground beef                         1 tsp. pepper

Brown ground beef and onions in large soup pot. Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook about 8-10 hours.

All seasonings are really to your taste. Add your favorites and omit the ones you don't care for. Be creative, you can hardly mess up beans!
