I haven't written about a recipe here in ages, but I'm hoping to change that.

Let's jump back in with a simple bean soup. This soup could be made with any type of bean (with adjustments to the cooking time based on size), but is especially nice for showing off an heirloom variety. Last time I was in San Francisco I stopped by Rancho Gordo's Ferry Building outpost and picked up a bag of their enormous royal corona beans. Their flavor and texture really shine with this preparation.
