Brenebon

Brenebon soup or bruinebonensoep is a kidney beans soup commonly found in the Eastern Indonesia, more often specifically associated with Manado cuisine of North Sulawesi. The soup is made from kidney beans with vegetables served in broth seasoned with garlic, pepper, and other spices.

==Origin== The dish is derived from Dutch cuisine’s influence on colonial Indonesia, adopted by people of Eastern Indonesian provinces. The name "brenebon" is local Manado pronunciation of Dutch bruine bonen; bruine means "brown", while bonen means "beans", thus bruine bonen means "brown beans" or "red beans". It is a variety of the common bean cultivated in the Netherlands that is roughly similar in taste to kidney beans, but with a darker and more brownish skin when cooked.
