Pinto Bean Soup
Ingredients
2 cups dried pinto beans
2 qt water
1 small onion, quartered
1 tsp salt
Pepper, to taste
Directions
Tip: When buying dried pintos, look for beans that are lighter in color. These tend to be more tender.
Rinse beans in a colander and sift through for any rocks. Transfer beans to a heavy stockpot. Add water, salt, pepper, and onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Let simmer for 4-5 hours, or until beans are very tender.
