Our home town is Tampa Bay and we always visit our favorite restaurants when we go home. One is La Tropicana Cafe in Ybor City, where we have enjoyed the Devil Crabs and Spanish Bean Soup for many years. This recipe is my version of the soup. Please enjoy. SALUD, Lolly

How To Make lolly's spanish bean soup

Let it rest for the flavors to blend. You will need NO salt if you use chicken base and spanish seasoning. I do add fresh ground Pepper Corn Medley before serving.
