Bean & Apple Soup with Salmon

Slow cook dry beans in apple juice, then add salmon for an easy, satisfying meal. My Moms' home delivered meals come with a 6 ounce can of juice. Since she drinks the milk with her meal, there's always a stash of juice to enjoy later.  This was a good way to do that!  Apple juice is also good in chili.
