Here is how you make Rainbow bean soup:

Boil water. Place beans in boiling water. Boil for about 15 mins, then pour out water and beans into strainer. Rinse very well. (Beans dried are not always particularly clean, may have to repeat.) Place back in pot. Add 8 cups of water, cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour or until beans are tender. Stir occasionally. Add tomatoes and seasoning packet and simmer for an another 30 mins. I gave in my cooking time about an extra hour because my beans were not done in time the 1 1/2 hours.And Enjoy! :DIf storing, layer beans in 1 quart jar. They will look like a rainbow. Package the seasonings together. (Using the limonade mix instead of fresh lemon juice.) Place in jar on top of the beans, put cover on, maybe cut fabric to cover top. Print instructions and tie them on. Makes an awesome healthy gift, and is yummy.Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CHICLIVEN4HYMN.
