So my long time Navy friend Adona introduced me to Mayacoba Beans. She posted a yummy looking picture of a soup she made with them and it looked so good I wanted to try it out.Off the Amazon I went to buy a bag of dried mayacoba beans. Soaked a pound of beans in a half gallon of water overnight. This morning I popped them into the slow cooker on low along with 5 cloves of freshly crushed garlic, 2 beef stock cubes and 1 cheese stock cube, paprika, cilantro, red pepper flakes, substantial cayenne pepper powder, about 2 cups of velveeta cheese, a can of hot rotel minced tomatoes with hot chili peppers, and a sprinkling of Mrs. Dash Chipotle seasoning. some of the ingredients are from Adona’s yummy recipe and some I added as I thought it would enhance the soup. Gotta give credit where it’s due. I left it to simmer and cook for about 8 hours, stirring it once in awhile.This soup filled the house with. Wonderful fragrance as it cooked!!! Yummmm!!!When it was done, I poured it into my big Ninja blender and liquified everything. It came out sooooo creamy and yummy!! Dressed it with a sprinkling of mini-croutons and some chopped chives. This is definitely a winner in homemade soups. It is hearty and filling and in the future will be the perfect meal for a cold wintry evening…or afternoon lunch.I had no idea these Mayacoba beans existed!!I used a slow cooker and one pound of washed mayocoba beans soaked overnight. Cooked 8 hours on low the next day. Transferred beans and liquid to stock pot. Added garlic, beef stock, salt, pepper, paprika, cilantro, cumin, red pepper flakes,all to taste, and a can of hot Rotel tomatoes. Simmer 30 minutes and enjoy. #dinner #lunch #soup #mayacoba #beans #yummy #yummyfood
