Categories     Black Beans

Time 3h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb dried black beans
2 bay leaves
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 cup sour cream (for garnish)
3 quarts cold water

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large pan. Cover with 3 quarts cold water and add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the beans for 3 hours, stirring frequently and adding more water as necessary to keep the beans covered at all times.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions and sauté over medium-high heat until translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, and dried and fresh oregano and sauté for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Transfer the onion mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • When the beans are almost tender, add the onion puree, sugar, and salt, and continue cooking until just tender, 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with sour cream.

This soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. I added a bit more cumin and chili powder to give it a little extra kick.

I am a big fan of Cuban cuisine and this soup did not disappoint! The flavors are bold and rich, and the soup is very filling. I especially liked the addition of the plantains.
