1 cup dried black beans
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup onion, diced

I'm allergic to shellfish, so I substituted the crab with shrimp. It turned out just as delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was okay, but I've had better. The crab was a bit overcooked and the broth was too thin.

I was disappointed with this soup. The crab was tough and the broth was bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
