Sweet Red Bean Soup

[fitfool]

Reusing the recipe for Sweet Mung Bean Soup for sweet red bean soup instead. I love both sweetened red beans and mung beans as a dessert and snack. I like it cold out of the fridge, really cold mixed in with shaved ice, or warm and soothing heated up. You can adjust how much sugar to add to suit your own tastes. You can buy these dried beans at an Asian grocery store. Possibly available at regular stores too in the international foods section or maybe health foods bulk bins though I've never looked anywhere besides Chinatown for these.

Sweet Red Bean Soup
I'm just using the same recipe for Sweet Mung Bean Soup here but with red beans (adzuki beans) instead of the green mung beans.

Ingredients
1/2 cup of red adzuki beans
6 cups of water
5 tablespoons sugar or to taste

Method
Soak the beans overnight, or least for 4 hours, in plenty of water.
Place in a large pot, add the water.
Bring to a boil, add sugar, stir, and simmer for 1 hour.
Let cool, then refrigerate for 1 hour, and serve
