A African Bean Soup Receta

This vibrant African-inspired bean soup recipe has been a family favorite for 50 years! Originating from an unknown cookbook, this recipe boasts a rich, savory flavor profile that's easily customizable. We love using Mayocoba beans (Peruvian beans often found in the Mexican food aisle), but feel free to experiment with your favorite bean variety – 1/2 cup dry beans equals a 15oz can after soaking and cooking. This hearty and flavorful soup is perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner and is even better the next day! Serve over rice for an extra satisfying meal.
