16 bean soup

Ingredients:
1 16oz packet Goya 16 bean soup mix
1 can lima beans
2 medium onions chopped
1 green chili chopped
3 garlic cloves sliced
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp red chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 lime/lemon
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste

Method:
Pre-soak the bean soup mix for a few hours before making the soup.
In a deep pot add oil and saute the cumin, onions, green chili and garlic. Then add the tomato paste, red chili powder, black pepper and saute some more before adding the wet bean soup mix. Add plenty of water enough to cook the beans, and add salt to taste. Allow to boil until beans are semi cooked, then add the can of lima beans. Cook until soup thickens to desired consistency.
Squeeze lime/lemon on top before serving.
