Notes

Liquid- If you don’t want to use the bean juice for extra flavour you could use vegetable stock in place of this. Add little and often as you go as to not make the broth too watery.
Beans- Good quality beans will really take this dish to the next level. I would recommend jarred beans and giant or queen beans if you can.
