Flavorful Red Bean Soup
By Josué
After making bean soup many times, I’ve arrived at this particular method of preparing them. I enjoy it because the flavor that comes out is rich and is quite the contrast if all you are used to is canned beans.
When I have a bowl of red bean soup, I add a little bit of cooked rice. For condiments, I’ll have any of the following: ripe avocado, sour cream, hard cheese and tortillas. There are times where I’ll have all of them and it becomes a hearty meal.
