Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup, or to taste
- Water
- 8 cups
- Red Beans (Adzuki Beans)
- 1 cup, rinsed and drained
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the red beans under cold running water until the water runs clear.
- Place the rinsed beans into a large pot and add the 8 cups of water.
- Bring the water and beans to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and allow it to simmer for approximately 2 hours. During this time, the beans will soften, and the soup will begin to thicken.
- After 2 hours, uncover the pot and add the granulated sugar and salt. Stir well until all the sugar and salt are fully dissolved into the soup.
- Let the soup continue to cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
- Your Sweet Red Bean Soup is ready to be served. It can be enjoyed either warm or chilled, based on your preference.
