Sour Cream Vegetable Soup

"This is a great soup that just gets better overnight, and is a family favorite. Cook time can be shortened by using a pressure cooker to cook the beans. Canned beans just do not give the best flavor, so I would not recommend them. Each person adds the amount of sour cream to their bowl that suits their own taste. It is wonderful served with a crusty bread."
