Sorting and soaking canned beans? Is a computer answering these questions? Seriously? It sounds good so I will just use my judgement on what the recipe is trying to accomplish.

I think there was a typing error in this recipe.The recipe calls for one can of small white beans sorted and soaked???I think it should be one small package? Which is it? I can't imagine cooking one small can of white beans for 5-6 hours?

@janluvsdoug, The serving size would likely depend on the size of the can of beans you buy. Typically, 1/2 cup equals a single serving. We suggest you look on the back of you can of beans to determine how many servings there are. Thanks! --Editor of FaveHealthyRecipes

@wadeckiburn 9560778 - You can buy canned white beans at any grocery store. You will then need to soak them per the instructions on this recipe. -The editors of FaveHealthyRecipes

I dont understand the 1 can small white beans, the only cans of white beans that I found was already cooked great northern or navy beans, if this is the ones you mean, then do you drain them and then soak them or what?
