This sounds like a really good black bean soup...though I love most ALL black bean soup! I'll update once I've tried it. I'm posting this for ZWT 4. This is a recipe I got by Cinda Sanners from her "Soup Buffet" show.

8 1 cup servings (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large stock pot, sauté celery, onion, red pepper, tomatoes, garlic and ginger in oil over medium heat until vegetables are tender and onion is clear.
  2. 2
    Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

This a really good soup. I halved the cayenne pepper, and it was still fairly spicy. I also subbed celery seed and 1/4 tsp of salt for the celery salt, since I didn't have any. I topped this with cilantro and squeezed lime and lemon over it at the table, and that definitely brightened up all the flavors. Served 4 as an entree. Here is my video of the soup being made: http://www.recipezaar.com/sitenews/post.php?pid=944&pn=1&pageref=Photo_Video-927138&vw_arrange_order=DESC&vw_sort_order=MOST_RECENT

    Lovely soup. The seasonings were just right. The only thing I did differently was add a little corn. I served it over rice, topped it with sour cream and had tortilla chips alongside. Thanks for posting!

    Delicious! Wow...we loved the spices in this quick and easy soup. I made a half recipe as there was only two of us eating, but I kept the written amounts of garlic and ginger. Also, I used chicken stock because that is what I had on hand. I served this topped with Mexican 4-blend cheese, sour cream, and chopped fresh cilantro. Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe...it is definitely a keeper! Made for ZWT4

    OOOh Yum! The spices in this make this black bean soup into something very special. I used chicken stock because it is what I had on hand and otherwise followed the directions. My DBF got into this even before I added the beans, because he thought it was finished. LOL- He enjoyed it both ways! I noticed my 15 oz can held 1 1/2 cups of beans and liquid, but because my dbf ate half of the soup early- I wasn't exactly sure how many beans to add - I just eyeballed it. I'm sure I'll be making this one again. Made for ZWT 4 by a fellow Jefe!
