I can't stand mushy soup. I never blend any of it, with the exception of a
small portion of potato soup, just to provide body. I want my beans to be
beans. Each variety almost needs to be cooked separately to achieve that.

My taste buds don't like lima beans. The garbanzos are just fine. My
objection is the drastic change in texture.
