It's fast, simple and very tasty !!! It can be frozen for a quick lunch...(up to 2 months). Great with garlic bread or buttered toast. A must at family get togethers and a hit at parties.

1 can consomme soup
1 can vegetable soup
1 small can tomato paste
2 large cans tomato sauce
3 cans red kidney beans, washed and drained
