Mayacoba Bean Soup

The mayocoba, or Canary bean, was named after a small village in Mexico where it was "reinvented." They have a unique flavor and it is said that they will not give the consumer the usual digestive reactions that other beans can give. They are yellow and the size of a pinto bean.
