A+ AFRICAN BEAN SOUP
This has been in my family for 50 yrs, originally from a recipe book but we have no clue which one. You can use any type of bean and I enjoy it with all of them but I'm particularly fond of the Mayocoba beans usually found in the Mexican food section (although it is a Peruvian bean). If you use dry beans 1/2 Cup equals a 15 oz can after soaking and cooking. Enjoy

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I'm not sure if I added too much water or if I didn't cook it long enough.
