  Oh, and one more thing. I think its quite important to use dry beans for this soup. I know it might be a bit of headache to soak them night before however is worth it as they taste way better afterwords. Good luck

  Really nice even if you use tin beans (Though I might just be a heathen) - used half fat coconut milk and it was still quite rich - think it may have been too rich if I had used the normal stuff. Though the lime does really cut through the richness.

  Fabulous - one of the best veggie recipes on the site: easy yet smart and tasty enough for dinner parties. Even perfect with packed/tinned Mexican bean salad for bean ingredients. Love it.

  I did this recipe for 80 people at a caribbean evening. It was simple, I got it ready in the afternoon and then re heated it, IT WAS AMAZING! loads of compliments and people saying they could have just eaten that all night. I used mixed bean salad tins form tesco rather than all the different individual tins of beans.

  Delicious, and very easy to make in bulk and then freeze extra individual portions for when you want something a bit more warming than instant soups. I tried it with fresh coriander stirred through at the end, which was very nice. Also, I'd recommend that you pound the garlic clove and the allspice together with the scotch bonnet and sizzle them all up together for a couple of minutes before adding the spring onions and red pepper, as (in my opinion) it helps bring out the flavours.
