As mentioned previously the desire to escape the cold like so many of my friends have has inspired me to cook foods that make it seems like I've gone south for the winter. The first experiment this year was black bean soup.
A simple recipe that came from a mexican recipe cookbook my sister in law won and had zero desire to use...after I drooled on the pages and started writing down almost every recipe, she told me to keep it... score!!
I took a can of black beans, rinsed them (as i have issues with the liquid they come in), then put them back into the can and refilled the can with water. I then dumped the contents into a blender and pureed it and then transferred it to the stove.
Once simmering I added instant vegetable stock mix, coriander, cumin, sweet pickle relish, and hot pepper sauce. I then boiled it for 15 minutes and served it, garnishing it with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and some crisp tortilla strips.
Without a doubt the most delicious thing I've made in a loooong time...my hubbie went nuts for it even though when he heard we were having black bean soup the look on his face was so far from enthusiastic...
Two thumbs way up!!!
