How to Thicken Soup Beans
No matter what you try, remember this: thick soup is a state of mind. Some days, your beans will be cooperative. Other days, they’ll rebel like teenagers denied Wi-Fi. That’s okay. Soup is forgiving. You can always add more time, more mashing, or more breadcrumbs.
And if all else fails? Call it “brothy bean consommé” and serve it with a crusty baguette. No one will question your brilliance if you act confident and use fancy French words. Voilà, you’ve thickened your life.
