Categories Soup/Stew Bean Dinner

Yield 5 people

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

ingredients
2 cups black beans
2 tablespoons oil (approximately)
1 cup onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 large carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 cup green pepper, chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned and seeded
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

Rinse the beans. Cover them with water, and let them soak several hours (at least 4) or overnight. Pour off excess water from beans. Place beans in saucepan with 3 1/2 cups water or stock and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, simmer 1 1/2 hours over very low heat. Saute onions and garlic in oil. Then add carrot, celery and green pepper. Add a little water to the vegetables to steam them along. Add the coriander and cumin. When everything seems just as it should be, add saute to the beans. Let the soup continue to simmer over lowest possible heat. Add oranges, orange juice, sherry, black pepper, red pepper and lemon juice to soup. Give it a stir, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. If you wish to thin, add water; if you wish to thicken, puree some or all of the soup in a blender. Serve topped with sour cream or yogurt.

Tips:

Soak the black beans overnight or for at least 6 hours before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more tender.
If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
Rinse the beans thoroughly before cooking to remove any dirt or debris.
Use a variety of vegetables in your soup, such as onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers. This will add flavor and nutrition to the soup.
Season the soup to taste with salt, pepper, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
Serve the soup hot with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

This black bean soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up any leftover black beans. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this black bean soup a try.
