  1. I have been cooking this soup for over 6 hours and the potatoes are not cooked yet. Are they supposed to be a little crunchy?

    1. Lynda, Hmmmm…the potatoes should be done after 6 hours. No, they should not be crunchy. Did you cut them into small pieces? I would recommend breaking them up as much as possible and check in 30 minutes. Keep us posted. 🙂

      1. I think that my slow cooker might be going bad. The carrots and celery are not cooked either, although everything is hof. I have transferred the soup to Mother crock pot and will see how it does now.

  2. The oregano, thyme and rosemary have no place in this recipe. Their flavors do not blend well with the beans.

    1. We’re sorry to hear you did not care for the herbs in this recipe! Please feel leave out ingredients you do not care for from the recipe!
