Black Bean Soup
By: Barb Gertz
Oct 16, 2002
These black beans are delicious. I have made these for years, everyone likes them. I have passed along the recipe to lots of people. I got the recipe out of a PG&E pamphlet (years ago). The recipe is from MUSTARD'S GRILL' in St. Helena CA, the Napa Valley. Prep time does not include soaking the beans.
SERVES 6
Ingredients

- 4 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 lb bacon
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 stalks celery, minced
- 1 large carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2-3/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 8 cups chicken broth or beef broth
- salt
Directions
1
Soak beans overnight in the water OR bring to boil then let stand for 1 hour; drain.2
Cook bacon in heavy, large pot over medium heat until golden brown and crisp, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.3
Mix in garlic, celery, carrot, onion, jalapeño and bay leaf.4
Cook until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.5
Add chili powder, cumin, cayenne and pepper.6
Stir until aromatic, about 1 minute.7
Add beans and broth.8
Cook at a slow boil until beans are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.9
I have used more broth to make it a soup.10
Season with salt.11
Mustard's serves these beans topped with chopped red onions, a dollop of sour cream and chopped chives.

Fantastic!!!! I halved the recipe but didn't halve the spices (an oops on my part) but it was so good. Cooked it as recommended til most of the broth was evaporated and served it over rice. This is definitely a keeper!

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!
