Cooking your Sweet Red Bean Soup1. The first thing you want to do is soak your beans, there are quite a few ways to do this but I use the traditional method by soaking them overnight in two times as much water as there are beans. This is the easiest and I think it has the best results.2. Now add 4 1/4 cups water to a large pot and heat to boiling, as it starts to boil reduce the heat down to a simmer. 3. Add the red rice and red azuki beans to the pot and simmer on the lowest heat possible for about an hour. 4. Now add the dried dates and the pecans, stir well and simmer for 20 minutes on low heat. 5. Add the brown sugar, black sesame seeds and the milk to the pot, stir well and simmer for 10 minutes. Here is another sweet Chinese red bean soup that is similar to this and also uses azuki beans. If your looking for more of an American red "kidney" bean soup you can find it at the link above.
