I'm not from the south, and my husband has family that is from (and still lives) in the south. I have been under pressure to get some real soup beans made, and I did. I'm back to share how I made mine. They are what I call a "Home Grown Recipe" as it can be completely homegrown, other than the tiny bit of brown sugar I used. Although I may attempt this with sorghum molasses in place of brown sugar, but Hubby may say "don't mess with this recipe!" We have been growing pinto beans for a few years now, but we don't grow enough I think. Anyway, here is how I made them, and Hubby absolutely raved over them. I am pretty sure I got the "southern" part of it down right.
