How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Wash and rinse the dried beans. Cover them with water in a deep bowl. Let them soak overnight or at least 2 hours.
2. Ask the butcher to cut the salted pigtail into 2-inch pieces. Wash, then cook in boiling water for 20 minutes. Rinse and repeat boiling to remove salt.
3. Place all ingredients (except flour and potato) in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam, reduce heat and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
4. Add potato and coconut milk, cook for 15 more minutes.
5. Prepare the dough for the empanadas by mixing flour and water, forming cylinders with a tablespoon of dough.
6. Add the dumplings to the pot, stir well and cook for another 15 minutes.
7. Taste and adjust salt as needed. The soup will thicken as it cools, making it ideal for freezing and reheating later.
