Sauteed white onion and garlic, diced red potatoes and cut fresh green beans, dill and black pepper in chicken broth. Now I need non-meat protein, and I'm not sure whether black or pinto beans (the only two I have on hand) will go with this recipe best. If neither, what should I use now, and what kind of bean would go best with it in the future?

I would use Navy or Great Northern or Cannellini Beans.
 
Yeah, white would be ideal in the future. My husband (we own rabbits) asked for rabbit meat, but I didn't have any cooked on hand.

I ended up adding the black beans, but that wasn't even important compared to what a friend on facebook suggested: SOUR CREAM.

I added some Creamy Mash instant mashed potatoes to thicken up my bowl and then added some Greek Yogurt in place of sour cream, and I am completely and totally in love with this soup. I shall post the ingredient for anyone who is interested now! I cannot tell you the measurements because I do not know them. But I wish I had added just a touch more garlic than I did (I probably added a teaspoon and a half of jarred crushed garlic).

White onions (maybe 1 c + a little)
crushed garlic (2 t)
fresh green beans, cut (lots)
red potatoes diced (all I had)
dried dill (2 T)
black pepper (just a touch)
"Better than Bouillon" chicken base (1 t/c of water)

1.5 15 oz cans drained black beans
1 15 oz can yellow corn

then when serving, I added just a little Creamy Mash instant mashed potatoes and some greek yogurt.

Thank you Patty! I'm writing this one down and adding white beans in the future.
 
Welcome to DC. I would use black beans with corn or garbanzo beans (but then, I like garbanzo beans with just about anything).
