This was exactly what I was looking for- an easy yet tasty soup. Both my husband and I enjoyed it. My changes were cooking the beans in my instant pot, then sautéing the vegetables and adding them to the beans and broth and simmering until fully tender. The parsnip was a very well matched flavor for the soup.

A big pot of soup simmering in the slow cooker is such a delight to come home too - and this one sounds delicious, even though I must admit, I haven't heard of mayocoba beans before. Happy Friday and thanks so much for sharing this!
