Hutterite Soup is one of the best heirloom varieties for making soup. Came to America when a Christian sect from Austria called the Hutterites emigrated in the 1760s and brought the bean with them as an essential staple. Probably the most "fragrant" bean seed you will ever encounter. One sniff and you will be inspired to cook - I kid you not! These beans soak up water well and cook very quickly. Makes a truly excellent creamy white soup. Very productive, greenish yellow seeds with a distinctive dark ring around the eye. Bush habit 75-90 days to maturity Go to table of bean varieties
