    I’m usually one of those people who doesn't want to know what the future holds. However, there are times when I wish that fortune telling or divination were real, so I could have known when I was going to lose my mamita and dad. If I knew when I was going to lose them, I would have spent more time with them first, every possible moment! My grandmother passed more than 10 years ago and there are so many times that I had the urge to call and ask her for a recipe. The most recent question I had involved this Sopa de Frijoles con Carne recipe, one of my favorite soups. Ever since my dad passed away last November, I have found myself in similar situations many times, wishing I could tell him something new about my kids or ask him a question or for advice, as I had all my life.

    • 3 cups cranberry or pinto beans
    • 1 pound beef short ribs or beef for stew
    • 7 cups water
    • 1 cup of aliños sauce see the recipe
    • 1 cup diced carrots
    • Salt and pepper

    My grandmother made this Sopa de Frijoles con Carne (Beans and Beef Soup) often and I loved it. When I went to make it a couple of weeks ago and asked my mom for Mamita’s recipe, she told me how to make it, but I knew she was missing something. So, I called my aunt and she supplied me with different ingredients! Back and forth I went and as it turns out, they were both right. I combined both of their recipes and the beans and beef soup was perfect, just like Mamita’s.

      I'm looking forward to trying this recipe tonight! One question, did you mean to say green instead of ripe plantain, or have you lost your mind? My Colombian boyfriend said that Colombian women have a tendency to do that. 😉 Just kidding, we love you Erica!

        Hi Karen, this soup is made with ripe plantains, but you can use green if you prefer. 🙂
