What a great soup!!!! I added a little extra broth, and shredded a roasted chicken from the deli up to make it a meal for us carnivores Fabulous!! Topped with fried tortilla strips and sourcream!

i could swear i reviewed these when i first made them. this is THE recipe for black beans. i reserved half of the beans to serve with rice, and added 4 c of stock to make a soup with the rest. this will permanently replace my old recipe

The beans are delicious! I made only a few changes (oh those cooks who can't just follow a recipe). I used turkey bacon and a little olive oil instead of regular bacon, hot peppers we grew this summer instead of the jalapeno, and no bay leaf (only because I was out). I think my beans were old because it needed more time--but really good, with a lovely velvety texture and great flavor. Thank you!
