  1. I make my beansoup with applesauce because I was told many years ago to
    put and apple in my beansoup to take away the intestinal gas that normally
    accompanies bean soup. It works. I make my beansoup with some boullion
    and vegitable stock instead of meat or ham hock as I prefer a semivegetarian
    life style for health reasons. Thank you for posting this interesting information
