ULTIMATE BLACK BEAN AND RICE SOUP
When I had my liver transplant in Denver, CO there was a Gunther Toody's Diner across the street from the hotel where I stayed. There was a Black Bean Soup on the menu that I just loved. After coming home to Oklahoma, I have searched, in vain, for a Black Bean Soup that came even close to what the diner served. I finally searched recipes and have come up with my version that best copies Gunther Toody's.

Steps:
- In Dutch Kettle, saute onion, celery, carrot, garlic, red pepper and jalepeno pepper in olive oil until soft.
- Add beans, tomatoes, corn, water, boullion broth and spices. Simmer for 30-40 minutes.
- Add instant rice to mixture. Mix well. Continue cooking 5 minutes or until rice is tender.
- Chop fresh cilantro and stir into mixture before serving. Could top with a dollop of sour cream on top and a squeeze of lime.
- Use Hunts diced tomatoes with green chilies or a similar brand. Rotel comes in a 10.5 oz can and is much spicer than Hunts. So if you use Rotel, pair it with a can of regular diced tomatoes.

SHERRIED BLACK BEAN SOUP
When I was first introduced to the Mexican author Laura Esquivel, I didn't realize who she was. After one of NTWH's performances, she told me she wanted to write on our behalf. "Are you a writer?" I queried. Much to my embarrassment, in her humility she simply answered "Yes." A fellow Jesuit whispered into my ear, "Dunderhead, she's the author and screenwriter of Like Water for Chocolate." We have since become great friends. She cooks for me often, and shows me the warmth and love of all of Mexico from her kitchen. This Sherried Black Bean Soup has a Mexican tang.

Tips:
- Use dried black beans for the best flavor. Soaking them overnight will help them cook more evenly.
- Don't skip the sherry. It adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to the soup.
- If you don't have any sherry, you can use white wine or even chicken broth. Just be sure to reduce the amount of liquid you add so the soup doesn't become too thin.
- Add some chopped vegetables to the soup for extra nutrition. Carrots, celery, and onions are all good options.
- Serve the soup with rice or crusty bread. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra flavor.
