STEP 3: Boil your meat or fish until it reaches the desired softness and set aside. Don’t forget to add onions and salt to it.
STEP 4: Over medium heat, place a clean pot on the fire and add in clean water and your beans. Add in potash to the beans; this enables it to get soft faster. Allow to cook for 30 minutes

Beans are known to contain a high amount of protein. It also contains carbohydrates, folate, and iron. In addition, beans also have significant amounts of fibre and soluble fibre. Together with other ingredients in the soup, you have a reach nutritious meal there.
