Yields about 6 cups.
NOTES:
To make more, make additional sous vide bags. You cannot fit much more in a single bag.
You should not cook citrus in sauces because it changes flavor. This is why the line juice is added at the end.
This recipe does not use the water like the Crock-Pot version. Sous Vide recipes need less liquid than crock pot recipes because there is no evaporation.
The broth you add to this recipe is probably already salted but since we are adding volume, we may want to add more salt (enough for 3 additional cups of volume or 1 lbs of beans = 1 tsp).
