You just made a vegetable stew

[@krisqueen5939]

How many cups of beans did you use since you adjusted the recipie?

[@R3LIABLE]

If the dried beans were pre soaked, how would you adjust the liquid in the recipe?

[@closeenoughwithjmills]

Thanks for your question James! So in this recipe, I do actually pre-soak the beans as well. I think I soaked them overnight and then still used the 4 cups of broth. If you used canned beans, say, I'd maybe drop the broth down to 2-3 cups instead, and test it out that way. Prob starting with 2 cups, depending on how thick you want your chili. Plus the Masa will really thicken it up at the end as well. Hope this helps!
