Steps:
- Pick through the beans and discard any debris - wash under cold running water. In a food processor, add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and cilantro.
- Set a large pot over medium heat and add a 3-count of olive oil. Add the oregano and cumin. Add vegetable puree and saute until just fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Add beans, ham hock, jalapeno, and stock. Slightly cover and simmer for 2 hours until beans are tender.
- When cooked, remove bay leaves and take out ham hock. Cut ham meat off the bone, cut into pieces and set aside.
- Using a blender or immersion blender, puree just enough of the beans and stock (about a third of the total pot) to thicken up the soup and bring everything together. Season with salt and pepper and fold ham meat back into the soup.
- Make the crema by combining sour cream and zest. Serve each soup with a spoonful of lime crema, a squeeze of lime and some fresh cilantro.

- Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and oil in a medium saucepan over high heat until the butter has melted. Add the onion and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat in the mixture. Add 2 3/4 cups water and 1 tablespoon of salt (or to taste), stir and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Steps:
- If using dried beans, place in a large pot with cold water to cover and let stand for 8 hours or overnight. Drain the beans and again add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Drain and reserve.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- In a saute pan over medium-high heat, saute the chorizo until it is brown and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove the chorizo from the pan and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot and sweat until the onion is translucent and tender, about 4 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chorizo mixture with the beans, rum, and honey and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a casserole or baking dish, add the stock, and cover.
- Bake the beans 20 minutes. Check to see if the mixture is dry and add water or stock if needed. Continue baking, covered, another 25 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and fold in the cilantro. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use dried black beans: Dried beans are more flavorful than canned beans and have a better texture. Just be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables adds a lot of flavor to the soup. Be sure to roast them at a high temperature so they get nice and caramelized.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. I recommend using a homemade broth, but you can also use a store-bought broth.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup is done when the beans are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking the soup will make the beans mushy.
- Serve the soup with a variety of toppings: The toppings are what really make this soup special. I recommend serving it with crema, three relishes, and lime wedges. You can also add sour cream, avocado, or chopped cilantro.
Conclusion:
This black bean soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great soup to make ahead of time and freeze for later. If you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying soup, this black bean soup is definitely worth a try.
