Hi Charmaine, blending a cup of the beans thickens the soup a bit. It’s not a required step — if you don’t blend the beans, the soup just has more whole pieces in it, which some people prefer. Up to you! ~Wes

Hi Zufei, thanks for your question. You can certainly use another sweetener, such as honey or maltose syrup, if you want to stay away from sugar. You’ll probably notice a flavor and texture difference, but those could be reasonable alternatives. Please let me know what you find! ~Wes

I really like this soup, but I don’t want to use sugar, as I have completely left white sugar…
What else can I use to make it slightly sweet…except brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar, etc. Any other alternative?
And what else can I add in this to make it more healthy?
