  • Pinto beans are very high in protein and cooking them in cast iron makes them high in iron, which makes them a natural, healthy, inexpensive substitute for red meat. As a bonus they are easy to store, lasting for years; easy to cook, no skill or special equipment is needed; and they taste like home, they are the first comfort food.
    There was a time when every home had a pot of beans simmering on the stove. In good times and bad soup beans provide a warm comforting healthy meal. They are a comfort food that you can feel good about eating.
    Soup beans are the food that saved our ancestors from starvation, and they are much tastier than any of that outrageously expensive emergency food. Make sure you have a bag of pinto beans in your pantry.
    Put God First!!! 😊

    Hey Becky, I can remember going to stay with my aunt in Kentucky .My uncle Bill would make a big pot of pinto beans and when they were done he would take out about a cup of beans and mash they then add them back to the pot and it made the soup so creamy. He would fry a large cast iron pan of fried taters and crackling corn bread and everyone would get a chunk of onion. I miss those days of everyone sitting around the kitchen and livingroom and eating,talking and just being together. Much love from Kansas City Missouri 💞 ...and as you say always put God first.

      Hello from TN! When we lived in Orlando Florida, I was caring for an elderly woman and her daughter in law came over to visit. I lived just across the street. When I brought Soup Beans over for her dinner, her daughter in law asked what it was. She was German and had never heard of them. I went back across the street and brought her some to eat. She went on and on about how delicious they were! I couldn't imagine anyone not eating Soup Beans! That still brings a smile to my face!
      The next time I made her Ham Hocks and Cabbage! Same response! Southern food is delicious, no matter where you live. GOD bless

I made 1 lb pinto beans yesterday in the crockpot on low for 10 hours after they soaked for 3-4 hours. It made me wish I had malt vinegar in my pantry as I would have ate them as a soup that way.

    I grew up in not knowing what a pinto bean was, but I sure ate a lot of navy beans. I live in the thumb of Michigan where farmers grew navy beans. We didn't get them in plastic bags, but had a 2gallon pail of navy beans in our basement. (We had an extremely dry basement so they kept well) Where did we get these beans? When my dad was done combining beans, he would clean out his combine. The auger wouldn't completely empty the hopper, and you wouldn't want to leave them in there, so he had to clean it out by hand and he saved all the beans and that was enough to last through the year. One year he grew black beans so we had those too.
    I enjoyed the video. I hope you don't mind me sharing my story. I do buy pinto beans sometimes and enjoy eating them. I feel like they are more exotic than the plain old navy beans.
    Now that dish you made, is that what we would call baked beans? It's much too thick to be bean soup, eh?
    When my beans are done soaking, I let them boil an hour before adding anything salty or acidic. I put a little baking soda in the water, just a little.
    Anyway, Thank you for making a video about cooking dry beans. Many people these days have no clue about how to use them. They are a very inexpensive source of protein, even if you buy them from the supermarket.

    We rinse our uncooked beans but cook them straight up in the next batch of water and use that water for the broth. Everyone has their way of doing things and their reasons too. I worked in a Mexican restaurant and we never had time/space to pre soak or par boil the beans. I've never had or heard of a problem from doing it that way. The MOST IMPORTANT part is to sort for rocks/dirt clumps etc and rinse before cooking. After that it's up to you. 👍

I was her constant companion because we lived close and both parents worked. Many people say that I’m another Hutsie (which was her name). I consider that a great compliment! I’ve loved your comments about Charlotte and other young family members. And I’m so proud of you going backpacking with her! My sweetheart husband died almost 10 years ago now.

    When I'm blessed with a ham I like to save a little on the bone , and cook the bone over night in my slow cooker or early in the morning 4-6 hrs it will pull a lot of flavor out and cook it with the beans along with onions sometimes with celery. Remember folks you can freeze the ham bone for awhile. That helps to stretch the budget. My grandpa would fix noodles and add to the bean soup. My ma at times would do old-fashion jowl bacon with the Rhine ,or ham Rhine that is so good. Don't see the Rhine on the ham in my neck of the woods any more. Smoked turkey parts are real good with split peas with good garlic 👌😋 nothing more inviting than hot soup. Since I'm the only one to eat such soups and you can't make just a little bit I have and known others to freeze it in freezer bags.

      I grew up in the south. My Mom made pinto beans as a side dish every week and they lasted for a couple of meals. But I never heard them called “soup” beans. She wasn’t making “soup” so she removed the lid towards the end of cooking time and let the liquid cook down and thicken. Covering the pot keeps the water from cooking out. Cooking in a crockpot retains more water. Overcooking uncovered causes liquid to cook out, and some of the beans to cook apart and that thickens the beans.
