Ready In
- Place beans in a large bowl with the water, cover, and soak overnight.

- Cover and cook on low setting for 7 1/2 to 9 hours, or until beans are crisp to tender.
- Transfer 2 cups at a time to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return all to slow cooker, add the milk, cover and heat on high for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through.

Instead of putting in food processor, I used my hand blender right in the crock pot. Worked great!

When I cooked this, it turned out like refried beans. I would suggest using more water, and not pureeing all of the mix, only some of it.

Never again will I buy canned bean soup. This is a great recipe for cold weather days. I served this with a Texas cheese toast.
