Sopa De Frijoles Roberto

Robert's Soup Beans

This recipe is inspired by my taste for Mexican food. In addition to being known as Sopa De Frijoles, similar recipes are known as barracho beans, frijoles de barracho, bean soup, etc.

I think my friend Jerry's beans are better. Nonetheless, here's my entry:
