Red bean soup is thick, sweet and studded with tiny, ever so slightly chewy, clear tapioca pearls and enjoyed after a 10 course Chinese banquet meal.

Ingredients

2 cups dried adzuki beans
8 cups water
½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon orange zest
2-3 tablespoons tapioca pearls

Steps:

First, rinse the beans under cold water. Then, soak the beans in water for at least 8 hours (overnight).
Drain the beans and transfer to a medium-sized pot. Add 6 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 1 hour. Over the course of the hour, add an additional 2 cups of water as needed.
When the beans look soft and broken down, use an immersion blender to blend until the beans are just broken up--it shouldn't be completely smooth (unless that's your preference--you're the cook here!). You can also transfer to a blender and pulse a few times until you achieve your desired consistency.
Transfer the blended mixture back to the pot. If you like a soupier consistency, feel free to add additional water at this stage until you reach your desired consistency. Add the sugar and orange zest. Stir over medium to medium-high heat to dissolve the sugar. The mixture should bubble very gently.
Next, add the tapioca. Cook for 20 minutes until the tapioca pearls become translucent. Some recipes recommend cooking the tapioca separately, but it works just fine to add them directly to the soup. When the tapioca pearls are totally translucent, it's ready to serve!

ADZUKI BEAN SOUP

Adzuki Bean Soup image

I've just discovered adzuki beans, and if you've never tried them, I strongly recommend them ! They are highly nutritious, and contain 25% protein, one of the highest ratios among beans. This spicy soup is a lovely way in which to make their acquaintance. My personal preference for the fresh garden herb mixture is half rosemary/half oregano, but by all means use what you like best !

Ingredients

8 ounces dry adzuki beans
6 cups water
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh herbs, finely chopped (rosemary, oregano, parsley, chives, basil, or a combination of your choice)
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon ground allspice
3 cloves
2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons white pepper

Steps:

Wash the adzuki beans well in several changes of water, then drain.
In a large pot, bring the 6 cups water to a boil.
Add all ingredients and boil rapidly for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
You may puree fully or partially for a smoother soup, but I prefer it just as it is.
Serve with slices of GOOD bread!
