Easy Peasy Multi Bean Soup

2016 is the International year of the pulses. Every month Nurture The Future will post a new recipe that includes pulses. Although January is almost over already (I can't believe it!) Here is the first recipe to kick off the new year. Another bonus- it's for the slow cooker! Throw everything in and that's it.
