A+ African Bean Soup image

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

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I was hesitant to try this soup. But I'm so glad I did! The spice level is perfect and it's not overpowering at all.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beans. I had some canned black beans and kidney beans that I needed to use up, and this soup was the perfect solution.

I'm not usually a fan of bean soups, but this one changed my mind. The creamy texture and the subtle sweetness from the carrots and tomatoes make it irresistible.
