Notes
7/29/23: A few people found this recipe to be "soupy", which I found surprising as it always comes out nice and creamy for me. I think this must have to do with the brand/quality of the butter beans used in the recipe, so I wanted to offer a tip if you encounter something similar: lightly mash a few of the butter beans when simmering them to release some of the natural starches which will help thicken things up.
