Bean and Coconut Soup
Yum, Yum, Yum! This was so good. This is a recipe from Tanzania according to my cookbook and I loved it. I’m a beans gal and this is a perfect way to highlight beans with a buttery, coconut-y soup. Along with a piece of buttered bread, I did a little dance eating this. I’m working…
