Notes

  1. I have used combination of black, pinto, lima, chickpea, yellow eye, green split pea, kidney, white, yellow split bean and navy bean. You can use any beans of your choice
  2. Soup can also be prepared with any one variety of bean instead of mixed bean
  3.  Tin/can bean can also be used instead of dried beans
  4. Tin/ can tomatoes can be used instead of fresh tomatoes
  5.  Amount of sour cream is your choice. I prefer adding it more around 2 teaspoon for a bowl
  6.  Two tablespoon of jalapeno salsa can be added for extra kick
  7. If soup becomes watery grind some cooked beans or mash the beans for thickness
