I made this soup. While it was cooking, it smelled soooo wonderful. It tasted even better.
Dulce says
Made this tasty soup after having one at a Colombian restaurant. And it definitely was easy to make, especially with ingredients readily in grocery stores. I simmered with the lid off to thicken the soup.
Patty says
Hi Erica,
New to your site. Can I use Navy beans for this recipe or what other kind of white bean is there?
Erica Dinho says
