I know that summer is upon us, but I couldn’t help but share this *delicious* and cozy soup recipe. Taught to me by my mom, this is a traditional Honduran bean soup that will surely warm you right up on a cool or rainy day (or any day you need some extra comfort 😊).
I love this recipe for several reasons. First, it’s jam-packed with flavor and consistently leaves me satisfied. Second, I grew up on it! My mom always made this soup recipe for my family, so now it tastes like nostalgia. Finally, Honduran bean soup connects me to my Honduran roots and my mother’s culture. Hispanic food has always been a staple in my life, and I value this soup’s additional tie to my background. This is just another example of food being more than physical fuel, right?!
It seems complicated, but this soup recipe comprises a short list of simple ingredients you likely already have. So if you’re ready to get cooking, grab your soup pot and keep scrolling for the full recipe! 🥣
