    They use dry beans. So they’ll bulk up 2 to 3 times their sizes after soaking.

    Anyway that looks more like a side dish rather than a main course.

      Understood it was dry beans, but for the volume of soup and flour-fat roux to thicken, seems like a fairly thin soup.

      1 pound dry beans is about 2 cups, typically around 4-5 cups rehydrated and cooked.

      When I make a large pot of soup for our family I would use about half that in beans.
