  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.
