Ingredients

  • 1 pound of dried red beans, washed really well
  • 1 cup of dry white wine
  • Onion powder to taste

  2. Put the beans in a medium-size pot, add the wine and water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the fire to medium-low, cover, and cook until the beans mash easily, adding more water if necessary. Season with onion and garlic powder.

  4. Add green onions to the soup when serving.
