Categories     appetizer

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups dried black beans, washed and picked over
8 cups water
1/4 cup olive oil or 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large onions, diced
6 garlic cloves, minced or pureed
1 large jalapeno chile, stemmed, seeded, if desired and finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
6 cups vegetable stock
1 1/2 cups Salsa Fresca for garnish, recipe to follow
1 cup Crema, recipe to follow, creme fraiche or sour cream, for garnish
2 tablespoons ground cumin
4 medium ripe tomatoes, cored, seeded, and finely diced
1/4 red onion, minced
2 jalapeno chiles, stemmed, seeded, if desired and minced
1 bunch cilantro, leaves only, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground pepper
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over high heat, place the water and black beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the beans are soft, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat. In another large saucepan or stockpot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-low heat. Cook the onions until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, jalapeno and salt and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic's aroma is released, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans and their liquid and mix well. Pour in the vegetable stock. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, an additional 30 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender in batches and puree until smooth, pulsing the machine on and off until it begins to liquefy. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a generous tablespoonful of Salsa Fresca and Crema, creme fraiche or sour cream.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir and toss well, and serve. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator no more than a day.
  • Whisk the cream and buttermilk together. Cover and set in a warm place for 8 hours. Crema may be kept in the refrigerator as long as a week.

CORN, CILANTRO AND BLACK BEAN SOUP



Corn, Cilantro and Black Bean Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups chicken broth
4 cups water
1 large bunch fresh cilantro, rinsed
1 package (10 ounces) thawed frozen corn kernels
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice
Salt and cayenne pepper
1/4 cup sour cream, regular or low fat, optional
2 tablespoons pimento, cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan. When hot, add the onion, cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Add the garlic and cumin and saute for 10 seconds to release their aroma. Add the broth and water and bring to a simmer.
  • While the liquid is coming to a simmer, with a knife separate the cilantro leaves from the stems. If you wish, wrap the stems well with string and add to the broth to infuse the liquid with more cilantro flavor. When the liquid is at a simmer, add the corn and beans and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes just to heat the ingredients well. Meanwhile chop the cilantro leaves you need anywhere from 1/2 to 1 cup of chopped leaves. Add the cilantro leaves and immediately remove the soup from the heat. Discard the cilantro stems. Add the lime juice and season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. Ladle the soup out and garnish each portion with sour cream and garnish the sour cream with pimento. Variation: to turn this into a main course soup, add 12 ounces of strips of raw chicken when you add the beans and corn. Or add 12 ounces chopped cleaned shrimp after you have added the beans and corn and cook for 2 minutes to cook through.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use dried black beans and soak them overnight before cooking. This will help them to soften and cook more evenly.
  • If you're short on time, you can use canned black beans instead of dried beans. Just be sure to rinse and drain them well before adding them to the soup.
  • To make the soup even more flavorful, you can add a ham bone or smoked sausage to the pot while it's cooking. This will infuse the soup with a delicious smoky flavor.
  • If you don't have any cumin or cilantro on hand, you can substitute other spices, such as chili powder or oregano. However, cumin and cilantro are the traditional spices used in this soup, so they will give it the most authentic flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread, rice, or tortillas. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or avocado for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Black bean soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover black beans. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this soup is sure to become a family favorite. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this black bean soup a try.
