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

Steps:
- Melt margarine in large stock pot.
- Add carrots. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add water, black eyed peas, navy beans, green pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper (add more water, if necessary, to cover).
- Cook, covered, until ingredients are tender, 1 1/2-2 hours.
- Add peanuts, onion powder, basil, and coriander during last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
- Taste to correct seasonings.
- Soup should be thick.
Tips:
- Use the right beans: Different types of beans have different flavors and textures. For this soup, black-eyed peas or cowpeas are the best choices.
- Soak the beans overnight: This helps to soften the beans and reduce cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing from heat and letting them stand for an hour.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to the soup, the more flavorful it will be. Some good options include tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will make the soup mushy.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of hot sauce if you like spicy food.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include rice, bread, or avocado.
Conclusion:
This African bean soup is a delicious and hearty dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover beans, and it's also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try.
